I darkened it a lot in post processing. And sharpened only the small section toward the end of the visible pathway.
This is another image I took while riding in the car.

OK, what do you think? I know this is a bit "non-traditional", shall we say? lol.:eek:

I like it ! My first impression is it's like a scene in some fairy tale story. I would even try "manipulate" it a bit more...glamour glow, soft-focusing, etc...:D

[Cheryl Flory]

That's exactly what I "saw" when I first saw the image, Desmond. I have CS4, nothing else. Are there filters or something in CS4 that you would recommend?

[Lance Peters]

Reminds me of little red riding hood - like it a lot, the sharp area draws you into the image very nicely.
Nik software do make a bunch of filters for CS4 - some good stuff in there.
Good show Cheryl!!

Hi Cheryl,
I like this very much...I like the way the outer edges swirl inward, taking you into the picture...well done...:cool:

[Cheryl Flory]

Thanks, Lance for the critique. Unfortunately, I have already spent my photo budget on my new lens, that's why I am looking for something in CS4 that I already have. :)

[John Hawkins]

I like it . It takes your eye down the path. Thanks for sharing.

[Alfred Forns]

All comes together well Cheryl !!! Love how your eye is manipulated to the path !!! Impressive !!

Try looking under Filter then play with options under Artistic, Blur, Distort or Stylize. A search on the internet for tutorials could also help.

Lance is right, Cheryl---it's Little Red Riding Hood all the way. This is wonderful, I like the colors, the way your eye is led down the path and the quiet, isolated feeling. Congrats!
