Ablaze

taken from our deck in 2008


I took this photo a few years ago and right around that time I ran across a tutorial on how to achieve the Orton Effect, so of course everything I did had the Orton Effect! but this was my favourite.

    Oh beautiful, love it. It does give a soft, magical feel to photos. Haven't done this, but really like the look. Something else to investigate!

    You are so lucky to live so close to such a beautiful place. No idea what the 'Orton Effect" is but this look quite lovely, like a painting.

    This is gorgeous..wish I lived so close to such a beautiful place. I have heard this word before but am unsure what it really is?! Will look it up...seem to give the background a somewhat impressionist feel.

    Oh wow! That one is exceptional - hope a nice large version is hanging on your wall. It just drew me in with its soft effects.

    Thank you for sharing your lovely work with Photo Art Friday!

    It is so difficult to take
    a photo of a lake and autumn trees
    and make it look new and different.
    But you did a great job!
    And you've inspired me, too.
    Thanks.
