Birch Images

This is a shot of some Birch and small Maple trees. I used several ND filters to slow the speed down and then changed the focal length slightly to blur the image. I then sharpened it and converted to b&W. It almost appears to be a charcoal drawing.

Nikon D70 with a Tamron 28-300mm lens.

Yes, I agree Philip, about the charcoal drawing look to this. Stunning and creative image for an end result. Many bravos!!

It feels like a pounded metal sheet. It works nicely.
