Shenandoah - Bridge by Susan Epps Oliver
A Susan Epps Oliver original 2008. All rights reserved
This work was derived from basically a happy snap taken whilst out walking on Skyline Drive in Virginia. The night I worked on it was stormy and kind of eerie so I decided to imagine how the bridge might have looked on that night. I used the fractalius filter ( Photoshop plug-in ) to give the stringiness to the foliage and then played with many variations in brightness/contrast, colour etc until I arrived at the effect I wanted. It was about 3 hours work which included cloning out stuff which I thought made the image look cluttered.

Great treatment of the image and a cool result. Those colours work really well together and there are some nice textures happening in the scene. Subtle and at the same time, very strong imagery.
Brilliant image and treatment
