After seeing the other threads on this subject I thought I'd try this on a shot I took last weekend.

Re: Thought I'd try my hand at the Orton technique
It's a bit bright, but a very pleasant image, Hacker, I especially like the composition, which is quite unbalanced, but somehow it works
 Later ... I just figured out why the compo "is unbalanced, but works" ... It isn't unbalanced, it just looks that way because of the weight of the tree on the RHS without any corresponding dark tones on the LHS to balance it tonally. However, it is in fact balanced by the slope which contains the flowers  It was the slope which contributed to the "unbalanced" feel at first glance for me, whereas it is in fact the balancing factor.I always seem to end up analysing your images, Hacker   I think that must mean that you have a kewl photographic style which demands that a viewer take a closer look at your images

The processing has given it a sort of fantasy feel - (that is the 'Through the Looking Glass'/'Nania' sort of fantasy - don't go there!)

The technique seems to lend itself really well to this type of scene, nicely done Colin
