Re: Trees and a path

At the end of the path you may find a golden box filled with more paths and more trees for you to explore...

Re: Trees and a path

Palms - nice shot.

Swampy - very cool effect & nicely done. Any tips on how you did this?

Pointillism.

Used Paint Engine and a lot of lighting effects (some hue/sat adjustements too) for this rendering. Attached is a very low quality crop. Here's the complete rendering.

This is my all time favorite poem. It also happens to be the one I was thinking about when I saw this thread and thought about something exciting I could do with it.

Thank you for sharing this wonderful picture with so much potential.

Janet

P.S. And Steve, I may just use Frost's poem as well.

Ziaphra -- I'll take the green one...

Steve -- good use of Frost's wonderful poem...

Thank you, Janet.

Frost is my wife's favorite poet. And since that was only the last verse in "The Road Less Traveled", you can add a lot to what I posted.

You are welcome. But I went with the Beatles instead.

Beatles -- modern day poets. Executed your idea very well -- great adaptation.


I decided to add some sunlight below, (the sun is out here, but the wind is blowing, and I'm feeling chilly -- I want as much sun as I can get).
