This is an old iron mine one can hike to in the Cherokee National Forest near Buladean. I framed in black (not my usual color :) to highlight the mine. They have a cute little railing built around it and it is a very nice hike. It had just rained so there is a bit of haze. Hope you like it.

PP-crop for thirds, sharpen, adjust hue and add frame to highlight subject.

Hi there Gary,

This is a very nice moody nature photo, a little bit spooky but that's the style I like.
The little bit of haze ads to that effect.

Although the colours are great you might want to try some saturation enhancement with these kind of photo's

Hi Gary

It almost looks like rainforest. Wheres Tarzan & Jane? Well managed low light levels. Tfs!

Hi Gary

I love your outdoor photo's. This one: excellent thirds, scenery stunning, sharp, love the colours, and I actually like this border on this photo.

Clint

Looks like there could be some Hobbits living down in there, Gary. Like a pic from the shire....
Cheers

Hello Gary!

Finally , it is time for me to visit my TL colleagues!, after having missed almost a week of great photos !

This one catched my attention. Your image and framed do fit very well together. The light mist adds a lot in the quiet mood captured here.
Bravo!
Robert

Hi Gary,
it's a wonderful place, a little mystic but so silent and peaceful. Also nice with the darker parts next the frame, thanks and greetings
