It was funny, this Texture Tuesday's theme of Look Up brought me straightaway to this photograph taken in May of 2006, of a cottonwood tree. I have always loved photographing what I see looking up into trees... especially tall ones like this one.
Here is the original photograph with only a tiny bit of digital fiddling...
Then I played in Picasa and Picnik to put it into my Gratitude yesterday [15 October 2012]
The layer-by-layer HOW I did this in PSE8 is:
Background + Ctrl J Soft Light 80%
Zen Thing Linear Burn 74%
KK Providence Hard Mix 47%
That's it, that's all.
Very fun, one of these a day. I'm actually sort of sensing my way round Now...

Like your image, texture and layers look great.
Great effects and choice of text.
Lovely work.
Cottonwoods are such beautiful trees! Nice processing, Currie, I like it.
I like your composition and diagonal lines in this!
Very nice, Currie. Don't you just love tree images from that " down below vantage point"? You did some really nice things with these trees. The color of the trunk is beautiful and it does glow especially with the "burned" edges.
Love your cottonwoods! Continue BEing YOU.

I like the diagonal line of the trunk. Nice composition and editing. Sounds like you are having fun, too, which is most important!
Nice processing!
