Fantastic pic, it invokes all kinds of feelings in me, when I was a child, the place I go to in my mind when I want to escape. Very creative and definately one for stock photo. Well done you

Thanks guys. This was taken in my garden, in a very special feeling spot in my garden by my remaining apple tree (one was cut down in a period when I didn't live in the house and one died due to the phenomenally hot summers we were having). Spring is just bursting through at last after a hard winter. The whole place feels joyous and alive.

I also love this Flick (gotta make it a Stock Photo!) Since I'm not at all good with the techie type of talk I just tell you how it made me feel or what crossed my mind when I looked at it. For me it just made me think of the movie The Wizard of Oz. The beginning of the film is in b&w (genious) and then everything magically turns to color. I love what this draws out of your imagination, your minds colors come out everywhere you look at this photo. I just love it! It's MAGIC!

Wow! A very delightful shot. I love photos that take the viewer to another place and/or time, and this does that and more. It makes me want to go run in the fields barefoot and pick flowers. You captured quite a bit of emotion and nostalgia with this shot...

Thanks Charlie. I guess the tecnique makes it look kind of cross between solarisation and infrared.

Gosh, well I'm glad you like it :-)
I used some extrteme settings in channel mixer, plus diffuse glow and the history brush to create the effect and give it that fairytale quality.

Oh boy! They keep getting better........this has an amazing quality to it Flick. It has this unique flatness yet so much depth to it all at the same time. Almost like a half negative. The flower/leaf highlights really add an electricity to this pic! Sorry to gush but this is one of those pics that makes be giddy and excited. Very very nice.
