Whatever the editing process this turned out just beautifully Jim - it almost resembles a painting or watercolor but not quite. Saved and faved.

In that case you simplified it beautifully Jimbob. Those green trees all around the water and the reflections look very nice.

A fine job on it too, Jimbob. I think trees lend themselves well to the variations of Simplify. I love that plugin. Such a pretty spot.

You've created a 'painting' without using a drop of paint, Jimbob. Like to say however that the result of your treatment is very good.

Some people have Gurus, I have my camera. Through the cam lenses I have learnt to deeply perceive life, not only to see, but to look at all expressions of nature, becoming able to read the poetry of the flowers, receiving the embrace of the trees and flying above the clouds without wings! - Susie Sun
