A fanciful version, done in Topaz:))) This photo was taken last month, and I've just had time to really take a look at the photos I took when we had some snow. I had a lot of fun working on this one, and I did several versions, but this is the one I chose to post. I hope you enjoy!

Well, how fun is this, Sandy! I expect to see a white horse walking in the distant woods! Fantasy, moody, something pretty from a bleak winter!

I love it, Sandy! The hint of bright light in the middle and the distant barely-there trees add great interest to a charming scene. Which Topaz product/filter, please?

Sandy, your work is always a delight!! A beautiful image made even more so by your adding a texture maybe?? A true work of art!

Hi Carlysue, how are you? Hmmm, you've given me a good idea about adding a horse, I may have to give it a go! Thanks for your lovely comments, and it's good to hear from you:)

Hi Linda, I'm glad you like it! I worked with this in Topaz Studio 2. I tried to retrace my steps yesterday because I wanted to redo it and change a couple of things, and I couldn't figure out how I did it.

I know that I used simplify, and then one of the "strokes" and made adjustments, and also used "smudge". I will keep working on it until I figure it out, and I'll send you a PM.

Hi Donna, thanks so much for the wonderful comments! It's a little wild, but fun!! I'm trying to retrace my steps in Topaz Studio 2, but I don't think I added a texture.
