Lundana,

This (http://www.photoshopelementsuser.com/gallery/view_img.php?id=18742) is just gorgeous! The colors and composition are fabulous.

Will you share with us where the photo was taken and how you achieved the effect?

I can see this enlarged and framed and hanging on my wall!:)

Edited to add: I just showed the image to my friend at work and she said it looks like a Thomas Kinkade. I knew there was a good way to describe it!

Hi, thank you all for the comments! :-)

I actually meant to caption it with the place and the techniques I used, but for some reason when I went to "edit caption" it kept throwing me back to the main gallery page :confused:

Anyway, I took the picture last Saturday at Woodward Park in Tulsa and then I used the Orton technique (when I get home I'll find the link and post it). After that I played with the lighting effects filter using the omni directional light until I liked it.

Edit: the link to the Orton tutorial is
