Interesting image, but the processing is overdone for my liking. Either that or it is a photo of a painting?

Budgie said 621 days ago:

Thanks for the comment. To clarify, it's a photo of the Boranup Forest (Sth Wst Australia) and it has very little post processing (a little curves and saturation only). The technique was to lift the camera slightly while taking a slightly longer exposure and this causes the blurry/soft effect. I've just had in printed on canvas and it looks very much like a painting which is the intent of the effect.

Not extremly 'ghosty' I know, but a few people have commented on it (elsewhere) saying it looks surreal, haunted or dreamlike.

cheers budgie

The woods are always spooky - lots of trees for the supernatural to hide behind. I really like the effect you have got going here. Just wondering if it was perhaps a bit darker it may increase the spookyness on the spook meter

While it lacks some impact, it shows creativity and good technique. I think it fits the theme really well. Nice work.
