Buds on Magnolia (Digital Woodcut)

Buds on Magnolia (Digital Woodcut), a photo by randubnick on Flickr.

Here is my photo of magnolia buds again, this time with Painter 12's woodcut effect applied. (The original version is posted here on April 21.) When I use the woodcut effect, I always have to do a lot of fiddling with the controls to get the right amount of black line. But this time I was lucky. The woodcut effect emphasizes the curved lines of the magnolia tree as well as the straight lines of the siding in the background.
