Nice classic tree silhouette shot but I'm not too keen on the haloisation (dodging?) around the tree

Re: The Old Man Stands Alone

Yeah, that effect has been done by a heavy vignette on the RAW file and then burning in the cloud area. I actually left the tree alone apart from a bit of mid-tone dodging on the trunk. I kept the contrast quite low to give the shot an 'aged' look so it fits with the title.

I needed some black and white stuff for competitions as I was desperately short so I didn't want just the 'normal' silhouette tree shot.

Thanks for the comments

Good idea. We might see something other than those two on Cleeve Hill at the CCC competitions.

Do like Steve's photo.
