Very nice! The contrast between the dark areas and the light illuminated zones is very well rendered. The reflections on the path add a good lead line. Well done.

Hi Dwayne.
I was looking to your portfolio and did enjoyed very much.
Your photography is very singular, and that is I think an important point, having one's own style you can recognize.
I have a technical question if you want to answer: are you using a kind of Terragen software mixing with the real pictures?
or the render is done in traditional Photoshop?

Regards,

Fred.

Thank you very much for the comments everyone !!

Hi Fred,

Much more simpler than that. I apply Orton-effect and then use "old shcool" dodge and burn technics on a single photo
using Nikon Capture NX2. I let nature do most of the work and enhance what is already there. The trick is to be able
to "see" these hidden elements of light and color to enhance. Thanks for the question !

Take care,
