Walking to Wonderland.
Posted by MaryB (Staffordshire, United Kingdom) on 8 April 2008 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.
Taken a Cannock Chase, Staffordshire UK.
An experiment with pp. Although it looks surreal due to to colours, I quite like the effect :)
I was very late getting around to your p-blogs yesterday, things still hectic here, will be around earlier today, I hope lol :)

It's a super image, Mary. Great framing and perspective and your pp has given it an artsy look. Excellent.

The base image is wonderful, and your PP added a "fantasy" type of look to the image. Very nicely done.

Absolutely stunning, MaryB. It belongs on the cover of a book ... Our Life Together ... now all you have to do is write the book! Brilliant work ...

Really cool, I honestly thought this was a normal winter shot at first! It'd be interesting to see the original to see how much it's been altered!

Lovely work Mary, the surreal colours are very appealing. We never got any snow this side of the peaks -either last weekend, or the weekend before, and I am now feeling envious.

What a beautiful winter atmosphere !! And so romantic !! I like also the composition and perspective and the color effect. Are we in a dream ?

I have to get used to it, MaryB, to be honest. Looks like a movie poster, so maybe one needs to watch it with that eye. Without the strange colors I'd find it fantastic!

I love the post processing. It is a very dreamlike image with a strong sense of narrative - it would serve well as a movie poster - nice work!

You don't need any more comments after getting so many before this one, but this is an outstanding image. It's really breathtaking, so I thought I'd say so. Wonderful composition and treatment of the theme.
