Enormous Tree
Computer filters or lens filters are tools to enhance our images. Either one can be overdone. The trick is to find those tools that allow you to tell the story without distracting the viewer. Photographers often get tricked into the trap of having success with a one tool, in this case a filter, and try to use it on everything. They need to be used in the right circumstance, with the right image, to create the specific results the photo-artist is after not as a crouch to make a bad image into a good image.
This photographer we successful with this image by using color conversion and filters. The original scene depicted was full of detail and yet the photo-artist added additional facets with a screening filter that gave the small features a grainy appearance. The trunk of the tree has an interesting arching curve. With our imagination we can see a doorway into another place. The lighting contributes to this illusion with the shadows in the foreground and the highlights in the distance. This beckons us to go further into the scene.
The only recommendation I would make is to remove the small white plant encroaching into the scene at the bottom of the frame.
