David says: 

Ricky did say we could be subtle or extreme, right? I went galactic by blending photos of a gnarly old oak tree and a black and tan granite countertop using the "Difference" blending option. I'm disappointed I couldn't capture the full tree, but I had to cut off the trunk and outer branches to avoid surrounding trees and houses. I tried all kinds of different adjustments, many of which could dramatically affect the look. In this image I started with high texture, low clarity on a black and white tree and high vibrance on the granite, in LR. After blending I tweaked Levels in PS until I liked the look.
