Since this is a "Snowflake" image, let's start by making some snow :!:

[Guest]

[Guest]

We can start with this image. Of course the sun is out but this is just for example's sake :wink:

[Guest]

You can use the filter directly on the image but it's best to create a new transparent layer :wink:

[Guest]

That way you won't mess up the image. There are other benefits as well :wink:

[Guest]

Now let's see. Where was I :?:

[Guest]

For snow you want something larger than you would use for rain and with less directional blur. Too much directional blur and it starts to look like rain instead of snow.

[Guest]

In this case, use the various color choices to match the snow on the ground.

[Guest]

In deciding the direction of the blur, take into account the overall composition. In the above image, a blur to the left would probably fit best.

[Guest]

You can do two layers of snow if you wish. One behind the planes and one in front. That way you can get full snow effect without obscuring the planes too much.

Great composition man , as usual.


Excelent landscape, an beautiful skins


Just missing, the shadows of the planes on the ground

:wink:

[Guest]

You don't want to use no directional blur at all because then it will look like stars instead of snow.

[Guest]

Very rough but you get the idea :wink:

[Guest]

The point, of course, is to make it so it looks good to you :!: :wink:
