Light on a Pine Forest Floor

Experimenting with light . . . the original source for this painting is a photograph by bcostin available on flickr.

I used various Inkscape 0.47 filters on this adaptation of bcostin's great photo. I did sepearate scans of the photo for brightness cutoff, for colors, and for greys, and then deleted all but the basic colors, and then arranged the remaining scans to focus the eye on the light streaming into the trees and onto the forest floor, and, finally, applied several filters to a cropped image in order to blend the contrasts appropriately.
