This is an in-camera double exposure of the treetops outside my front window. (I overlaid the tops of bare trees with another view of ones with fall colors capturing the setting sun. I also added a dreamscape.) I then combined this in PS with two geese flying in for a landing at the lake near me.

"Van Gogh in America", a fabulous exhibition in Detroit Institute of Arts. This photo was taken with high ISO because of the limited lighting inside the exhibition room. With lots of noise in the image, I thought it is a good candidate for a black and white photograph. There are multiple frames here, the entrance, the square board in the center, and the exhibitaion visitors. I could have had a tighter crop if I have chosen a different focus. I don't own Topaz at this time so I used the oil style filter in PS to advance my image. Here is the result after several versions. I masked off Van Gogh's painting in my photo so it didn't get affected by the black and white and oil style filters. Forever Van Gogh!
