Its going to snow again here so I am motivated! D850 w 60 mm lens at f32, various exposure times, light table,
I combined several different exposures from the light table, added a couple of textures and added a light leak. I also have included a third version with a little Topaz Impression!..
Any comments fair game. One questions - Is the light leak distracting? Comments include one without the light leak.

Wow, Kathy, this is way too cool. It almost looks like a painting. Ode to spring for sure! I am so ready for it. No snow in the forecast here. I was even able to get out and shoot some photos of bees today. I didnāt see the second one, maybe it loaded while I typed. They are both great, but I think the light leak one is my favorite.
And I have yet another version involving Topaz Impressions.
Im lucky I donāt shoot the refrigerator with all this snow! (Iām told that is an Alaska joke)
Kathy, wow. Very artistic and I really enjoy this. This last one is my favorite and the one with the light leak is my least favorite. @Jim_McGovern talks about āhealingā image on the other thread. I would consider that this is quite healing, such a heartwarming image.
Oooh, beautiful! They all look fine to me, but perhaps the light-leak version takes this away from the conceptual nature of the photo.
Thank you Adhika
This started as an exercise in learning to use my own textures and learning to āpaint inā different exposures of the same scene. I have made no bones about the fact that I started in LR and my PS skills are , well, not quite up to par, lets say. Anyway, I really appreciate your opinion on the 3 of them and the āhealingā properties of the more impressionistic one. I think I will print the third one today !
Thank you Bonnie. I was getting carried away, perhaps, with all the possibilities. Thats why I posted it, I wondered if the light leak was just a bit over the top.
I think you have done this successfully. I really appreciate this kind of images where you really bring an image to a different level like a painter. Thanks for sharing this, Kathy.
Kathy: One of the things I like most about this gallery is the divergent opinions from different viewers. For me I like all three but the light leak is a nice little complementary element that I like quite a bit. These are all superbly crafted images and a testament to your creative instincts. Many kudos to you.

These are beautiful @Kathy_Snead! I will say that the light leak is my least favorite as well. Now, it may be my laptop, but I canāt see a difference b/w images 2 and 3. I agree with @Adhika_Lieā¦this image is truly uplifting, bright, warm, and even optimistic with its colors and light!
