The last summer stroll

While strolling with my brother Arie through the woods in Germany, near the Dutch border at Buurse I encountered this wonderful forest path. With my 300mm lens I took some shots while a family and the dog were like we, enjoying a last summer stroll.

PP-work: Small crop, selected bright area in the distance, increased the brightness (+10%); selected inverse and decreased the brightness and increased contrast of the remaining area, removed some very small OE spots with the clone tool. Resized and sharpened and add frame.

Focal length 70mm

Hi Hans, beautiful place, very good depth and some fantastic greens. Well done. Nil.

Beautiful image. I love the greens. Grea leading lines.

This is really nice Hansie! I can see you and me strolling down this lane! LOL! OR maybe me chasing you down this lane! I love how the shadows come across, love the couple, and friend and the dog at the end! Very peaceful! The worn trail is a great lead-in line here. Nice colors too!

Hallo Hans, zo te zien heb je het juiste pad gekozen, toch ?
Keep on going and you will see the light, haha
Mooi pad om nog eens te doen als de bladeren verkleurd zijn.

Bonjour Hans,
Un paysage qui m'est familier... j'aime tout particulièrement la gestion du DOF tout particulièrement dans le feuillage.
Une perspective remarquable avec ce chemin qui nous guide jusqu'à la famille.
Bonne journée

Nice, subtle PP work, Hans. And a well-known scene for me. The track makes a nice lead-in, overall colours and light is very beautiful.
A moody image.

Schitterend Hans!
Toen was er nog geen spoortje van de herfst te vinden.
Prachtige groene tonen en lichtval tussen de bomen door.
Zulke laantjes zijn een lust voor het oog èn om er te wandelen.....

Groet uit Schouwen,
Adri

Hello Hans
Wonderful perspective of a great forrest path. Wonderful composition with the sharp persons in the end of the way in an excelent contrast with the soft light at the end. The trees are wonderful and very sharp, and the lines in the ground guiddes our look in a soft curve in a very fresh green of the grass. Beautiful work.
Best regards, mb

Prachtig, dat weelderige groen... toch kun je aan de kleur goed zien dat dit het einde van de zomer is...
Mooi hoe de sporen je meeleiden naar het wandelende groepje...
en een prachtige lichtval door de hele foto heen.

Once again you lead us somewhere with your path thru the image, Mr. GB. You pp work is fabulus to make everything right. You have captured the tranquil mood, beautifully. Beautiful work as always.
Warmest Regards

That's a pretty decent shot - nice natural framing provided by the foliage, nice shadows, sense of depth. I would like to see a 300mm version, too, if you've got one - I can almost see it in my mind ;)

Consider a slightly warmer tint, or, better still, shift your shadows towards the red side just a bit
