This is somewhat anti-cyclic because it's a photo taken in spring, whereas autumn is in full swing – but spring is so, too, in the southern hemisphere, so let's say it's an autumn image as seen from somewhere down under ;)
This is also another re-edit from a holiday on Baltic sea semi-island Usedom in 2013. I've already re-edited a few images taken during that holiday (please check my album), and I've always wanted to re-process this one because it's one of my favourites from that trip. The woods along the Usedom high coast are incredibly beautiful, and to wander through them felt like being in an enchanted forest. It was a truly magical experience.
Photographed with the tiny Pen-E-PL3, my very first MFT camera (which still exists). Needless to say, the 12,8 MP sensor isn't capable of capturing the absolute best details, and especially on the horizon there is a considerable loss of detail, but not to the extent that you couldn't at least guess what you see, namely a sailboat and one of the many ferries crossing the Baltic sea every day to different destinations such as Poland, Scandinavia, and the Baltic countries.
Please don't ask me about the (over-)processing steps in this re-editing journey, because a journey it was, and a rather long one, as I've been returning to this image on and off, doing this and that in different programmes until it finally felt "right" – at least for this moment ;) You can find the original, almost SOOC image in the second comment.
Happy Sliders Sunday, Everyone!
