This is one of my favorites. It is a simply deceptive photo. The large snow covered evergreen trees look stately. You see a background full of them and a gray-blue winter sky. In front of the background trees in the middle you find a smaller tree that looks just like the Christmas tree that you always dream of.
This photograph is available as a fine-art high-quality custom framed print. Just click on a link to see a larger preview and other photos taken by Mitsuko.

Burgundy Leaves by Gene Cyr - View Larger
I can't say what isn't amazing about this photograph. First you have the great textures in the leaves on the ground as well as the veins in the leaves that are closer. The rich burgundy and red look plain luxurious. All this needs is a custom frame of your choice at Imagekind to give that boring wall new life.

A Giclee is a printing technology used to make fine art prints from digital images. This is the technology used byhttp://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?u=230478&b=164765&m=10782&afftrack=blogger&urllink=imagekind%2Ecom%2FDefault%2Easpx to print ALL of its Member Art. Giclees are great because not only do they give a very high quality print, they also use inks that are designed to last for many years. Your print if protected from harsh UV rays could easily be inherited by your grandchildren.Compare that with your typical ink printers we use everyday? They use cheaper inks, papers and a different process that make them last only years not decades. I know that there are some works of art given as gifts that I'd like to later pass on to other relatives, and with each generation it becomes more dear to us.
The Tennyson Gallery defines Giclee as:

Giclees can be printed on many media, such as canvas, watercolor paper, and transparent acetates. Giclees are superior to traditional lithography because the colors are bright, last longer, and are of such a high resolution that they "paint" the medium in a continuous tone, rather than tiny dots.
Lithography uses tiny dots of four colors--cyan, magenta, yellow and black--to fool the eye into seeing various hues and shades. Colors are "created" by printing different size dots of these four colors.
Giclees use a sophisticated inkjet technology. Six colors are used--light cyan, cyan, light magenta, magenta, yellow and black, and the inks resulting in colors that are more true to the original art. The ink is sprayed onto the page, actually mixing the inks on the page to create true colors.
Therefore Giclees are the best way to get a piece of digital or digitalized art onto your walls with the best quality possible. Imagekind offers a way to see samples of their use of the Giclee method through samples on different paper types. You can use this sample kit to choose the type of paper your fine art prints use.
The Giclee system uses 8 colors to give the greatest depth possible
Your prints will bring you joy for many years with proper care
Using the Ultra- Chrome K3 pigmented inkset, from Epson, Imagekind's fine art printers will allow users to print outstanding color and neutral black & white prints on a variety of media including glossy, satin, matte, fine art and canvas. Without hesitation, the quality and shine of a pigment giclee on canvas, watercolor or satin paper is unmatched.
