I love shooting landscapes from the car, especially as we drive through a variety of country environments.Unfortunately, most of those shots -- taken usually at 55-65 MPH - are not that great. I love trying to rework them with textures and Topaz Impression. Which is exactly what I did with this photo:  Using a variety of textures from the Timeless Collection on top in various layer modes and opacities, I just kept adding them until I got the dramatic, moody look I was after for the art.
