Tone mapped from single RAW exposure, exported to CS2
Gothic Glow layer created and faded, High Pass on top of that, slight hue/sat adjustment, resize, border, save for web.
**************
No doubt doomed to DNMC, too far out of the box, but I had to do it :-) Someone will probably note the resemblance of this to my "self portrait as raindrop" entry of 2004, even more OOTB. But I stand firmly here and say, this is MEETING THE CHALLENGE; "father time" and "mother nature" are common references, and they DO battle with each other all year, every year. The image depicts time hammering nature (dead of winter and all) but nature will come back and win in turn, come spring :-)
