Snap & Zap: Trees

Time for some more editing fun.

Time for Steve’s challenge to see what I can do with this photo.

When I start to edit a photo I just go with the flow.  I use a lot of filters on my iPad just because I want to see where it leads me.  I have no idea what I will end up with and that is where the fun is.

So yet another photo taken at Cornwall Park.  Yet another reflection.  So lets see where I go with it.

First stop was Snapseed, mainly to extract the photo so I can use it in other apps.  I added the HDR people filter for this image.  It lightened up the bottom of the image.

Then the old lens filter to focus on the tree itself.

Then onto Distressed FX  for the Ansel filter.  I love how it blurred some of the branch details in the foreground.

And the vanilla filter – just because I liked the effect.

Then I hopped over to Photoshop Express to add a silver filter.

Then for a bit of fun I inverted the image which really focused on the tree.

And finally onto my final image with the spring filter.

So I ended up with the strong blue colour again. But it gives a totally different look to the trees.  I have lost all the details around the top of the image to make it look like the tree has fallen down, instead of it being a reflection.

So, which image is your favourite.
