Paradise Valley and section of image

[edbook]

This image I posted before - it's one that I said was simplified and other stuff. As an explanation to what I do when manipulating an image, I posted the second image below to show a full size section of this image that was reduced in size and jpg compressed. You see that there is a big difference in perception when viewed in different sizes... some images are done an injustice when resized and compressed.





The painterly effects that I used on this image include simplifying detail, finding edges, embossing, adding texture layers and blending layers as well as other magic. experiment experiment experiment
I printed this image large with pigment inks on watercolor paper.
