Another shot from southern Illinois.
This was a good test case for trying out the Topaz Simplify filter. So after some curve adjustments, I applied the filter and then blended some of the original details back in. I like the effect since it really emphasizes the shape of the leaves and reduces the tree trunks to simple, dark bars. I could get all existential on you, but I won't. ;)
