Experimental PP. I was trying to make it look like a painting which is difficult in Advanced. Expecting 5.5 as it is likely to get the usual "overprocessed" comments.

Makes me wonder if my cataract surgeries have gone as well as my ophthalmologist claims. Score is so far higher than expected.

6.29 at 93 votes, I did not expect it. Maybe I should experiment with PP more.

What I love here are the delicate forest colors, the intricate detail and the filigree interlacing of the tree branches. The quality of mood is somehow -- whether by wonderful location or technical artistry -- removed a bit from realistic to enchanted. It certainly is beautiful. Though, like many entries, this is more a matter of convergence and implied vanishing point rather than actual vanishing point, it's my favorite of the challenge because of its aforementioned beauty and mystery. The more I look at it the more I enjoy it.
