Smoky Effects Photo

Photographer’s Note

Żabieniec is a village close to Piaseczno. There is a camping area there in the birch forest, just a stone's cast from the lakes. The smoke from bonfires and grills is aplenty and on a summer afternoon it provides for quite attractive effects.

This IS beautiful Tomasz. Not only the rays of the sun touching the ground, but also the crooked trees that seem to dance. A picturesque effect.
Personally, I would just have darkend a bit the tones, as to add an enigmatic touch to your photo. Now, the brightness of the colours (see the grass - near to overexposure at some spots) leaves too few space for mystery... And this photo has a potential of mystery, with the smoke.
TFS & kind regards,
Erik

wow, Tomasz - it's such an amazing shot! I love how the light envelops the birch trees. I wonder if the phono had looked even more dramatic if taken from a lower POV.
