The Orton Effect on a snowy day (somewhere)

  • Having been saved at the last minute from 12 hours of sleet which thankfully turned to rain here in the Sunny South, thoughts turned to parts of the world where Winter has us thoroughly in its grasp. Affinity Photo came to the rescue here on a bitterly cold day. Pixabay provided the original image. smadell provided the Orton Effect, with his elegant macro, which he included with many others that he so kindly shared here in this forum. (I provided the mouse. With luck, I may be given some actual artistic ability next time around, if reincarnation is a reality. Here's hoping.)
