| | | 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.  |

Robert Frost | 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.  |

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.

Steve C. | 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). |
