creative tuesday: fall

(ED: I'd forgotten that Creative Tuesday doesn't allow photography as one of it's artistic mediums so I'll just have to participate in their next theme; you can still enjoy my efforts....)  I've missed a couple weeks but upon my return the theme is "fall" and that's perfect because I have all these fall color photos I took in Vermont!

Since I haven't had time to get out my collage stuff or paintbrushes, I decided to digitize fall!  This is my photo taken outside Ben and Jerry's ice cream factory - yes, even in the midst of ice cream overload I was aware of the beauty around me!.  I added two textures from Jerry at Skeletal Mess and also a couple of PSE artistic filters - posterize edges, paint daubs, and fresco.  I played with the opacity etc and came up with this interpretation.  The original photo below.....

I don't know that it's improved - it's just different.  I like the vignetted corners and the painterly quality that the fresco and poster edges give the leaves.  You can see those details better by clicking to enlarge the pictures.
