Wonder if I have anything in Photoshop that might replicate this easily, sometimes we just don't have an hour per image to spare! I like the effect, it kinda looks spooky!

Nice processing that seems to multiply the amount of moss that you have captured, giving this composition a lot of texture.

Barbara Kile from Ft. Worth, United States

Love your processing here, but the center is a bit busy for me - nevertheless the patterns around the vignetted area are great and the sepia tones really work here.

Hiro from Kyoto, Japan

Nice shot and nice processing. It's really artistic.
