Snow Scene Through Window Blinds (Digital Woodcut in Black and White)

Snow Scene Through Window Blinds (Digital Woodcut in Black and White), a photo by randubnick on Flickr.

Two days ago, I posted my photo of a snow-covered dogwood tree seen through window blinds. I took the original photo on December 30, the day we (finally) had a respectable snow storm here in Beverly, MA. Yesterday I published a posterized version of the photo, created in Painter 12. Last night I also created a version with Painter's woodcut effect, which emphasized the tracery in the tree branches. The color was similar to the posterized version. I decided to transform the image into black and white, which seems to work well for this image.
