Tree Bark 2
Went on an Offshoot photography club outing to Mount Usher Gardens yesterday morning. I'd taken pictures of the autumn colours a few times before and wanted to try something different, but had no ideas what to do. Wandering around, I was taken by the colours and patterns on the tree bark, so made that my theme for the morning.

Autumn Colours at Mount Usher
This one didn't have a lot of work, but I found once again that the Nik Color Efex Glamour Glow filter works very well on autumn foliage, whatever it might have been intended for when it was developed. After that, I applied the fade correction, before the usual brightening and sharpening. The light on the day was very variable, but it did reward the time spent hanging around, which is always perfectly pleasant at Mount Usher anyway. 🙂
