That's beautiful country up there, as your photo plainly shows.

Here's one version.

Swampy,

I followed your directions..."to the T"...then poped the photo with Lucis (just a little) and then burned the sky around 30% to bring out the blue.

Working on a new edge detect method (White Shimmer, Grain Extract, Neutral Color Divide; requires Unplugged White Shimmer filter which is no longer free) set to Overlay on original and one of the layers set to Darken. Also added Carravagio (Xero filter) to the mix and some Vector simplication (clouds needed it, but just went all over with an Opacity blend). Attached is a full quality crop. Here's the unabridged version.

Welcome back Barbara. You really make GIMP sing. I enjoy seeing your work.

Thanks to Frank for providing the nice photo.

I re-ruralized (or should I say de-suburbanized), cropped, sharpened, simplified and used the AHB in CS2. Texturized in CS, too, but you can't see it through the compression.
