Looks like a Christmas card image

Christmas brings out the artist in people - and here's an example. This is a photo of the Christmas tree in the Maple Crest lobby. The Icon took some artistic license and played with the photo. If you'd like to see the original photo, before we played with it, click here.

The Icon photographer decided to play around with Photoshop. Here's the Christmas tree in the lobby of Maple Crest. Then, with a bit of camera magic, the tree is transformed in a color outline. 

You may chose which version appeals to you.There are times when the itch to experiment is so strong that, well, it just happens.
