That's very good. Care to divulge the PP technique?

I like it. Makes me feel like the tree is going to come alive and grab me.

This is going to have to be one of my favorites! Your choice of colour and PP is perfect :-) I love it!!
The scratchy background, composition and 'almost' sillhoette all put together makes a beautiful, eerie and artistic photo.

Nice one - I like the PP quite a lot.

Thanks for your comments! The title of course is Sleepy Hollow - couldn't fix the type afterwards :(

Concerning the pp: I haven't done too much - i took one texture in overlay mode and the other with the scratches in hard light mode - so the scratches came out clearer. After that i tunes the colours of the textures a bit in LAB mode, so i got this green that i wanten. Then i applied a bit of dodge & burn using an overlay layer, to make the tree look more like a silhouette. That's basically it.

Oh and here's another version :)
