Photo-Based Art - - A lonely tree

On my Utah jaunt this year, I had the opportunity to visit Canyonlands in eastern Utah. This lonely tree caught my eye.

P.S. I liked the BW version as my arty piece. So here tis.

Wish I could see this. I love solitary tree shots....

5-star photo, Janet. I thought I'd add some character to the sky before doing my painterly.

Janet, here is a 10 minute edit to black and white. First I selected and copied the sky to a new layer and lighten it a bunch. Then I used the channel mixer to convert to B and W. I used low red high blue and med green. Then I dodged the tree trunk and the deep shawdows in the rocks to pull out the details. Good shot by the way. Ony thing I might have done different is to get a tighter shot....

You mean like this...?

I liked the horizontal shot better.

Great thing about art though, everyone likes something different. I'm glad you liked the tree and that you showed your version. Keep up the good work.

No,not really. I lke the landscape orientaion better. I just meant getting closer to the tree so its more the subject. Just my opinion though.

This image can stand going too far...

Excellent for dramatic black and white.

Janet, another interesting image!
Thank you, once again.

All three channel images (RGB) are wonderful. I just couldn't choose one, so I used each one in turn.

Gosh, each of you are doing neat things to this image. I'm getting so many ideas for enhancement and for just playing.

Ro, I never would have thought to check the channels in color.

Can stand going to far...? Right on. I like the hypersaturated look.

The detail in the black and white, Michel, is impressive. I think I'm going to redo the one I have. Great job.

If I left any one (or two) persons out, forgive me. Unless I write down what ya'll did, by the time it comes to type up the comments, I've forgotten who did what.
