My Enchanted Yard
CLICK ON THE IMAGE TO SEE A LARGER VERSION
I posted this image on Facebook and received a lot of positive comments. I thought I would share it with my blogger friends! I used Nik Color Efex (use code BAA to save 15%) Bi-color filter and Glamour Glow filter along with the Fractalius Shaggy preset. This is the view from my front door, I like the ivy that covers the base of the trees so I used a layer mask to reveal some of the details of the ivy that would have been lost after running the Fractalius filter.
I am giving my slide show/lecture “A Blend of Art and Nature” to the Ocean County Camera Club on January 23rd at 7:00pm at the Lakewood Community Center 20 4th Street Lakewood, NJ 08701. If you are in the area please stop by and say hello.

This really is the ‘Enchanted Forest’ of fairy tales. I love the processing and the added effects. And what a view to have from your front door – I’m jealous! But not of the Ivy – once you’ve got it it’s darned near impossible to eradicate.
Thanks Andy, I love trees and the ivy is special to me. It stays pretty contained in the tree area out front so I’m lucky
