Forsythia Branches (Posterized Photo)

Forsythia Branches (Posterized Photo) Originally uploaded by randubnick

This image began with a walk yesterday at Long Hill Gardens. It was cold and I was surprised to see forsythia blooming, even though I have been waiting for spring. Forsythia blooms in very early spring, sometimes while snow is still on the ground, much like the crocus. I liked the brightly colored branches in the sunlight, so I used my digital camera to take a picture. Today I transferred the image into my computer, cropped it, and then posterized it in Painter IX, choosing a level that emphasized the sunny yellow blossoms.
