About the Image(s)
I registered this image while in a landscape workshop in the Lake District of Northern England this past Autumn.
Sony a7cR with a Sony 24-105 G OSS lens at 92mm. 1/250 sec; f/11; ISO 25600. Topaz Photo AI for Denoise and some sharpening. Mono conversion in Lightroom Classic. First time using the new Adaptive B&W preset as a starting point with various tweaks. Looking forward to your comments.

Very good work M. the lighting on the trail and the soft contrast makes this picture superb. One question - what's the white line around the black diagonal branch on the left ?

Thank you, Adi, for your kind words. Your keen eye always amazes me. I missed that detail entirely. I played with the image extensively in post to get the effect I was after. I can only surmise it was one of two things. Many of the trees had a lot of moss growing on them and perhaps when I tweaked the green luminosity slider in LrC, combined with the lighting conditions, it made the moss edges stand out.
That, or just plain old sloppy editing. (Probably the latter ?). Thanks for pointing it out. I shall go back and fix it. Posted: 03/09/2025 09:03:14

I enjoy the volume of the photograph and the light accents; everything harmoniously came together in the frame. Thank you for sharing this beautiful work with us! Posted: 03/26/2025 22:55:58
