Public Footpath Signs

I love the at atmosphere and moodiness of this image made more dramatic by the black and white treatment of it. There is also the an anticipation of a bight sunny morning once the mist has burnt off. It is a very effective composition, with the foot path sign being prominent, then the road draws your eye to the figures in the distance bringing the scene to life. A great image that caught my eye and one that I kept coming back to. Congratulations on your first place.

This has the feeling of a cool summer woodland glade. The bridge and the sign complement the setting and become part of the overall scene and I like the addition of the rays of the sun filtering in from the left. The post processing has been sympathetically done with the cool palette and vibrancy and saturation kept to a minimum, all contributing to the lushness of the scene. Congratulations on your top ten place.
