The dying little town of Mavillette, in southwestern Nova Scotia.

That looks unreal - great work!

I presume that PP is responsible for the 'painterly" effect? As ausmoose says "unreal"! I would like to know a bit about how you did it - and what the original looked like.

I've run out of superlatives for your work. This image rocks. The juxtaposition between the two sides of the road is visually so strong. You need to have a show.

Stunning as always. Love the PP. I agree with Tess; when is your show?

I generally don't much care for images that have evidently undergone enhanced saturation, but this one--it works! Print it and sell!

Thanks ausmoose! I assume unreal is good?

Thanks for looking. I liked the potential of this image so I took it through Photomatix for a mild HDR which gave it the painterly effect. I didn't like the original sky though - too boring. So I masked in a more interesting sky and dodged the white at the head of the path. Here's something very close to the original, I think maybe the embedded jpg. The original RAW is buried somewhere on my disk. U have to leave now but you have me curious, so I'll find the original RAW tonight and post here if it's any different.

Wow, I am really flattered to hear two great photographers say that! I don't know if a show is ever in my future, or how you would ever even begin to put one on and where…. but a cool dream. Thanks so much!

Thanks John! I'm a big fan of enhancement and manipulation, but I agree with you that if not done very well it can really bomb, and badly. (I have to cringe when looking at some early jobs of mine from when I was just starting out - I have deleted lots of shots that I had assigned 5 stars to!)

It almost has a fairy tale feel to the photo Jerry, great job.

Unreal is awesome!

[sherrvonne]

Nice, really like the effect.

[GeoJerry]

Thank you sherrvonne!

[GeoJerry]

And thanks Bob! Almost didn't see you there!

Great PP for that painted feel, well done something different.
