Woodland picture

It was a dull day last week when I decided to take my lunch break in a park local to my work. I decided to bring the camera anyhow and I'm glad I did because no sooner had I got there than the weather decided to brighten up a bit.

I took this photograph over the top of a wire fence and through the thin line of trees and hedges that open up into a lightly wooded field. I was in the dark but the field was lit by bright sunlight.

To produce the picture I cropped the photograph, ran it through a seasonal filter and blew the highlights deliberately to enhance the difference between the place where the viewer is standing and the open field.

It looks great full size and, I think, would make a good print at 12x8.
