Making photo scary ! tree
 

Hi all

For some reason at work I was asked to submit a picture of a 'scary' tree !

I have taken a picture but lack the software to turn it scary........my picture is on the left and a picture already submitted is on the right.

Any ideas on how to make my tree scary !!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for your time

Mike

I wonder if a ball ball is like a bauble :scratch: [edit] Beaten to it :D

Not sure you can make a tree scary :erm: Although with the American attitude to the environment, you have to wonder. You want a tree that has human characteristics that are enhanced in the right light - e.g. well gnarled with two large branches suggestive of arms.

As you can already see, stark lighting is a good start, as is going B/W.

You can do quite a bit by using solarisation and other such filters to work on an image.

However, your tree has got a cluttered background, which will make it very difficult to work with. See if you can get a picture of a lonely tree - good bit of sky behind - preferably with omenous clouds.

I thought that and I can see a nose !

Not sure how to change the light ?

Here's a quick photochop of that image. I applied a solarizing layer, then converted to grayscale and played with the colour channels. There's not too much more you can do though, as the background is a bit too cluttered. Like other people said, if you can find a picture with more contrast with say the sky, or a desolate background, you will get a much better result :)

I found my own tree on it's own and used glowing edge filter on it. :D

Actually that's really rather good if I do say so myself.. :)
