Landscape Photo Competition 2014 No 5 : Entry Number 196

This is a lovely dark b+w shot and perfect composition where the foreground and distant trees all have their space. I love the misty atmosphere which you have recreated so well and the strong branch silhouettes which fade away with the distance. A firm favourite.

Thank you for the Mark of Excellence. My name ist Stefan Pütz-Cordes, living in Germany. The scene was photographed in the "Wahner Heide", a protected area near the airport Cologne/Bonn. Taken with a Canon 5DII and the 24-105mm at 50 mm. Postprocessing in Lightroom and Silver Efex Pro.
