That's the kind of story I like

Like so many, we experience cabin fever after spending a month at home in isolation. On Sunday we escaped to nature for a photoshoot at a nearby trail in Cupertino, California. We had fun experimenting with different poses. I love this gnarly oak tree and the footbridge, perfect for a photoshoot. To take this shot I had to step back into a field of poison oak - I carefully trampled some plants to avoid the urushiol oils.

 

I processed a photographic, a paintery, and a smooth HDR photo from three RAW exposures, blended them selectively, carefully adjusted the color balance and curves, and added a Silver Efex Pro 2 filter to get this old postcard look. I welcome and appreciate constructive comments.
