Over the last decade I have visited this piece of woodland in Bedfordshire many times. The oaks were felled long ago and have since re-grown with numerous trunks, making for some weird landscapes. Birches are merely opportunists in the open spaces between. I accumulated a lot of photos and spent some time processing them in Lightroom. Then just a couple of weeks ago I came across Photoshop's 'oil' filter and started playing. These photos are the results. I think the filter really helps capture the mood of the moment and gives movement to the images which the still photo alone did not.
