An Inviting Bench

This is an infrared shot of a path in a local garden. I boosted the contrast considerably and applied the Orton effect. Nikon D100 (converted to IR) 16mm 1/60 at f2.8 ISO 800 with about a 50% crop.

Steve,
I like this alot. It has both a 3d and surreal feel to it. I like the strong lines of the trees the best. Well done.

Interesting and very creative, Steve. It took a bit to grow on me, but I really like it. The dark tree trunks are so bold and yet somehow not overwhelming to the image. Love the chair. Has a bit of an "asian" style to it overall. In fact, the more I look at it and think about it, the more I like it! :cool:
