My Grandson's Christmas Tree       ©2020 jomari
Panasonic DMC-FZ70       3rd place, 121 points
1/2s, f5.4, ISO 1250, 151mm, Normal Program, Pattern, no flash
 
Post-Processing: Topaz Glow, blend mode lighten, Topaz Clean, Filter Forge > artistic, Topaz clarity. Another version Filter Forge >
distortion glow pasted and blended so that it softened the first version.		       Extra Info: I shouldn't give our grandson all the credit. He and his fiancee hosted Christmas dinner and this was their tree - or part thereof. It was our grandson who proudly made sure we noticed it! It was actually a black tree but the lights made it look blue.

Jan 21, 2020		     My #1 pick. Glad to see another Topaz user. I've been wasting too much time with the new Studio2 and Gigapixel :-)

Jan 20, 2020		     Thank you all for comments and votes. The original of this was disappointing in its lack of crisp focus. Not having much else to offer I played around with it a fair bit (see post-processing notes).

Jan 20, 2020		     A black tree? I'd have thought it might be a Blue Spruce. ;-)

Jan 18, 2020		     I'm curious as to how you achieved this abstract effect. It's really quite beautiful.

Jan 18, 2020		     The blue gives this an almost abstract look which is very attractive.

Jan 18, 2020		     a really beautiful image, it would make a great photo paper background

Jan 17, 2020		     A really cool effect! Hope you explain how this was achieved in Outtakes. I wonder if the effect caused this to lose the Christmas look?

Jan 17, 2020		     A trippy psychedelic Christmas tree!

Jan 17, 2020		     This image has an abstract feel to it. Very well done and different from the usual images.
