Iansky Posted July 16, 2009 Share #1 Posted July 16, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) The two images below were taken at Avebury in Wiltshire. The first image is of the trees that the Druids still worship under and celebrate, their roots are big and gnarled and they sit on this bank where the sun comes through the branches - it can be quite eerie at times. The second image is of an old burial mound that is chalk covered in grass - another place the Druids have great respect for and still celebrate to this day. I have toned and tried to make the images look old to add impact. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuny Posted July 16, 2009 Share #2 Posted July 16, 2009 Lansky - Very magical and cinematic. Think Tim Burton. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
soleforeal Posted July 16, 2009 Share #3 Posted July 16, 2009 These are really well done. The vignetting adds that magic to it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pauledell Posted July 16, 2009 Share #4 Posted July 16, 2009 Ian, Perfect treatment for the series. Really magical. Paul Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iansky Posted July 17, 2009 Author Share #5 Posted July 17, 2009 Thanks for the comments. It is a magical place and even though I am a bit of a sceptic there is definately an aura about the place with hundreds of years of history behind it. There is still a very active Druid groupd still worshipping here led by "Arthur Pendragon" - current head druid. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marquinius Posted July 17, 2009 Share #6 Posted July 17, 2009 Ian, You really handled this perfectly! In other photos, the DPP would be off, but here it adds enormously to the whole feeling. And I can imagine druids wandering around these roots. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

arminw Posted July 17, 2009 Share #8 Posted July 17, 2009 Both of them are excellent in composition and finish ... well done Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thompsonkirk Posted July 17, 2009 Share #9 Posted July 17, 2009 Everyone seems to have liked the vignetting, but I wonder what it adds/subtracts. I'd enjoy seeing unvignetted versions for comparison. Kirk Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
vdb Posted July 19, 2009 Share #10 Posted July 19, 2009 My first response is also of a magical place. Well done. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
