Beautiful! I am guessing this is IR? The lone tree really is magnificent.
Mel Brackstone  Thanks Matt, not it's not infrared, I've just used channels adjustment layers to change the colours.
Matthew Tauzer  Sorry for the late reply, but How did you imitate this IR look?
Mel Brackstone  I used a cross processing technique, Matthew, which makes the golden poplars look a little IR-ish.

Wow, this is marvelous Mel.

The colours and tones are stunning, very 50's feel to it.

Wonderful PP. How many tones did you use?
Mel Brackstone  Thank you, Alessandro, I don't understand your question. The colours were changed in a Curves adjustment layer.
Stunning is what springs to mind.
Mel Brackstone  Thank you so much, Thomas!
