The Dark Hedges

This is a fantastic place. It felt so unreal driving along that lane with those huge trees lining the street on both sides. It also wasn't easy to get a photo without cars in it. Not that there are many cars on that road. But the few who drive along, usually park on the lane for a couple of minutes to enjoy the scenery. So it wasn't often we had the dark hedges for ourselfes.

Some focus stacking was needed to get a god dof. I left the nearest part out of focus though to get some framing. In postprocessing I first focused on bw conversion, then on contrast and in the end I took out some details by controlled blurring of highlights and some orton effect.

hope you like it!

cheers
