Digital photograph at 2048x1536 (I think?). Masked off the two branches manually (the magnetic lasso tool would not work as well as I needed it to) Made those branches a new layer. Took the original, duplicated it three times as three diff. layers, then just played with filters and blending modes on those. Finally put in 2 gradient layers.
I think it's funny how it worked out that the first one I got done was the same plant that I did in my two rough drafts (the green Japanese maple precedes this one)
i love this one! i also love japanese maples and the color purple. go fig. lol. anyway, i like how you did it with all the layers on the computer. looks good.

...and then this weekend I will have actually deserved to go out and have a good time. And probably want to do anything but Photoshop.
