P.S. Steve I tried to avoid flowers as much as I can. I hope that a few on background would not count.

Still not 100% happy with my oil technique, but it does work better on landscapes. Sorry for the low quality (around 45%), but it was high enough not to have to provide an external link.

Hi Pavel....Nice pics...are the leaves already falling from the trees there????

Lyle...Like your painting...although you are not 100 percent happy with your oils i think its really coming on...

Steve...Both are really good....got me thinking of an old Cliff Richard song now..."In the country"

Palms...Like both but i love the simplicity of the first...do tell how you did it???

Margaret...Nice one ...like the blends of the two imp filters...

Two for you....Done in Photoshop with the AHB and filters...

Very nice pictures from everybody.

I tried to make fields in fog.

Patricia... most of the trees are still looking fine, just a few old marble trees apparently started panicking

The weather if great - blue sky and sunshine. That's why I have to make artificial fog...heavy fog often makes for nice landscapes.

I like the second picture... Could you say, what technique did you use?
(ahb, emboss, overlay?)

Hats of to you Drach that looks great and complicated

Pavel i used the ahb, then used the custom filter to sharpen each layer and a action from the how to wow series which is a emboss. We are just going into autumn here and that means mist and fog

Just noticed your flower avoidance comment.

As you see I worked on a few of the pics. Just the right amount of flowers.

If I don't keep my flower comments to a minimum I might cause a flower drought here. (Not.)
