Lightining Tree

I took this picture a while ago, but I thought I would have a play with it in Photoshop and transform it into sepia plus a lot of other editing too.

There is something so beautiful about dead trees, they always remind me of giant sculptures.

Sorry if I am a bit absent at the moment, a busy time here. Been out again all day today too.

Looks a bit like an etching - I like it.

Great edit, and I agree, they really are like sculptures. A beautiful way to put it.

Interesting editing Babs. Dead trees are so necessary for all sorts of bug life and fungi, as well as making great photography subjects.

[Paul]

I find dead trees to be beautiful too, thought maybe I was the only one. Glad I'm not :) Terrific editing here, has a stark, almost horror moment, effect :)

Glad you like the editing. I can't remember exactly what I did to get this effect, I just gave it a touch of Marnie's @golftragic 'seeing-to' treatment and stopped when I got to a point where I liked the results.
