Winter Morning (Posterized Photo)


Winter Morning (Posterized Photo)

This image began with a photo that I took on Thursday morning, around 7:30. I liked the way the morning light was hitting the snow-covered branches in the distance, so I took some photos. The effect I was most interested in was part of the background of the original photo. So I did some preliminary cropping in iPhoto, and then opened the image in Painter. I adjusted the focus, brightness, and contrast, and then posterized the photo, trying out different levels till I had what I wanted. Then I used some color overlay on the sky (soft yellow). Finally I cropped twice more to get this composition.
