I absolutely adore birch trees. I find them to be beautiful trees year round, but they are especially magnificent in the winter. There is a very nice stand of birch near this foot bridge in Lincoln Woods State Park. The bridge itself is a very nice subject, but I can never quite take my eyes off the trees.
Post processing started with a classic filter in Topaz BW FX. I then adjusted contrast, adaptive exposure, protect highlights, boost black, and boost whites. Color sensitivity sliders were also adjusted. A levels adjustment was added in PSE, followed by a brightness and contrast adjustment. A sepia photo filter tops it off.
i adore birch trees also, recently found out the peeling trunk can produce a sweet substance gum as xylitol - something about the grass i really like here
