Judges' comments:
Like the effect on the sky and the river; could crop on the right and keep more of the color areas
Maker's notes:

The intentions was to create a scene that looked like an embossed Christmas card. Using Elements 10 and a lot of experimentation I got the embossed look in black and white. I then merged it with the original color photo graph. Hope it gives the 3D look I was going for.
