Thanks Christie for a very unusual and difficult image. Had to think about this one for quite a while with all kinds of ideas floating around in my head. Finally settled on this rendition.

Procedure:

Gradient map with individual channel levels adjustment.

Convert to greyscale

Erase background with background erasure set at 5% tolerance

add new sky

Apply surface blur filter at a radius of 38 and a threshold of 21

Cropped bottom.

Debbie E. Payne 		  Christie -- In the end I felt that this just had to go abstract somehow. It just spoke to me as something that could be mysterious and rather dark.

I began doing white and black point adjustment (thank you Kathe!) and did a curves adjustment to get just a tad more color in it. It looked okay at this point and could have done a high pass adjustment but decided for less realism and more abstraction.

Did a simple motion blur, a contrast and brightness levels adjustment, and decided on a slight more amount of color so upped the blues and greens with a hue/saturation adjustment.

I just realized that I forgot the BP number assigned to this image so I will have to enter in another response for the image. Bye for now.

Here it is Christie. Of course I had to do it with the painting filter, too but didn't save it. Didn't want to overdo that painterly look.

At first I wanted to enhance the fog for you - but I couldn't get it the way I wanted - so went a different route.

Cropped just a bit off the bottom, levels adjustment, used the 'old paper' filter and then applied a vignette. Thanks for the opportunity to 'play' with your picture

I know there is a couple with moons added but I threw one in anyway..can't remember all the steps ver batum but

levels adjusted to brighten image

selected and erased sky

created new layer with black gradient

created new layer with moon

duplicated moon layer, applied gausian blur of 65%, enlarged gausian layer then dropped opacity to about 35% to create glow around moon

with moon layer under gradiant layere erased to expose moon.

adjusted hue/saturation of trees to achieve blue tint.

flattened image

for ha-has cut and pasted cows in and adjusted for proper size.

duplicated image and darkened bottom layer with adjust brightness, ereased top layer with soft brush to reveal dark layer to create shadows of trees and cows

okay- getting my homework in early this week :-)

i adjust levels and contrast
did a noise removal
high pass sharpen
adjusted the horizon (just a smidge)
then cropped - went long and skinny
cloned out a pine on the far left and cloned out some of the branches on the tallest tree
cloned out the fallen branch
did some burning here and there

this was a really tough image for me. I don't think i'm very good at landscapes and, Christie, I don't know how you tackle these misty scenes.

now i'm going to look at what everyone else has done :-)

Christie R. Bielss 		  This is fun! And Jodi, I've been fighting with this image for over a year. I was going to have you all work on an image that was from this past fall of a covered bridge but that disc has crashed (argh!!!) and I'm going to have to see if the computer repair center can recover it....another $75 down the drain.

Here is what I've come up with!! And Jodi, I agree with you...this is FUN!!! :)

I went for the long skinny crop as well. I cloned out one of the upper branches the applied a brilliance/warmth filter and the high pass filter with an overlay. I also added just a smidge of a vignette.
