Ragged Copse

[Black Pearl]

Another from this mornings wander - while the weather may be a bit grim we are getting some nice (photographically speaking) sky's which with a bit of tweakery make for some dramatic images.

This has had A LOT of work done as its a strong crop and there was loads of cr*p in the foreground which I couldn't get high enough to remove when shooting so had to do in Photoshop. Its a little messier than I would have liked but it does add to the shot and almost gives the grass the feel of a rough sea - probably. Toned with my typical split of blue for the shadows and yellow for the paper/highlights and this time with a very simple white border.

Was the grass long and blowing in the wind ?  I suppose a longer exposure treats it almost like milky water.   I like it

I like the minimalism of this.

With no disrespect, as I really like this image 

But on first glance I saw ostriches by the sea (back to single strength horlicks from now on)

Its a short exposure 1/250s but there is lots and lots of cloning which I left looking rough as I rather liked it.

Call me stooopid, but......at first glance, I saw a rolling sea with mangroves.
