Edge of the forest (28)

Taken at the edge of the woods that surround Brocket Hall in Hertfordshire. The photo was originally colour and very boring so I B&W'd it sharpened it, darkened it to bring out some dark shadows on the tree and then added a soft focus and a small halo to all of the light objects to produce a "dreamy" effect. I then darkened again slightly for this final result...I was trying to achieve a "Middle Earth" type photo and compared to the original this IMO is alot better.

Ive just posted this so that you can see the original..its worth noting if you fancy doing some post processing work on your photo's PaintShop Pro can achieve brilliant results and if youre on a tight budget its alot cheeper than Adobe's photoshop...(i have both and personally get on better with Paintshop - all my photo's posted here that have been modified use paintshop pro.)
