Hummie's World, Filter Challenge - Mezzotint

I was hoping this photo would work well with this filter, and I wasn't disappointed!

Loved playing with this! I used several layers of the photo, added a gradient map layer to change it to a sharp b&w, then changed some blending modes, including one layer using 'dissolve' to give an added snowy effect in the sky! I selected the b/g to add a medium dotted mezzotint, and then long strokes on the tree and on the 2 border layers - this really helped them merge into the page and continue the texture to the edges!

Thanks Hummie!

TFL!
