Pinecone Fantasy

Uploaded: November 01, 2006

Description

A lot of PS applications here... original image was a previous multicolored comp. with anisotropic diffusion effects. I converted this original to black and white and applied a "bad dream" plug-in. A blue diffuse-glow tint was added to the b&w, then applied the color invert filter, and changed the tint hue to the red/brown effects on this finished composition.
