6th place
Come Swing From My Branches
by Jessa Forster

Very little post processing on this one (;
It was taken a couple days ago in the fog and rain in my front yard.
It's odd, I know, but I hope you enjoy it nonetheless!

Gaurav, yes that's what I was going for! hehe!

Thank you Katherine! PP went something like this (done in paint shop pro): Duplicate original layer - turn new layer b&w and set blend mode to Overlay - Duplicate original layer again move it to the top of the other layers and set the blend mode to Exclusion (this is the step that gives the top of the trees that eerie look)- apply a layer mask to the new layer and erase the bottom half - a little dodging, burning, and cloning and voila! (: -Jessa
