"The energy of the forest will lead you, your wings cascade in speed of turn. All is One as life does lead you, to the sacred, from the dreary." Francis Dove.

This is the third in my series from the day some week or more ago when I got to see some lovely Latvian nature.

I decided to go for the mystic look on this, so in PS after not being satisfied with the normal levels, brightness and contrast changes, I went for a high pass, then 22% red filter, after a further levels change and then a large up in contrast to bring out the various movements in the sky colouring. Then downsized for web and had to slam the JPG save quality down to level 7.

Only in Nature can you find within yourself the truth of being. :)

Here is to the search... ever the search... :)

I liked this image but felt that it needed something to bring out the kind of feeling I had about it. If any one can work out if these are Hawks or Falcons, will be most indebted to you... :)
