This image was taken on a very rainy day in the Karri Forest along Caves road in the South West region of Western Australia.
I had some great success with this image here in Australia and the state and national Print Awards run by the AIPP.
It was a risky image to enter into the print awards because, well, it’s mostly black!! not something that is known to be a winner 😉
I loved the image and decided to enter it, netting a Gold and second place overall in the state landscape awards and a Silver Distinction in the Nationals.
Prior to entering the image I was told by many people that it was risky to enter but quite possibly innovative enough to do well.
For me that’s what I love with such things and images, I’m often creating images that come from some weird wacky place deep within me and this was one of those. I never set out to create this look, I did know I wanted a blurred effect but that was about it, the final image was something that just happened.
That kind of image creation is the most fun I have when in post 🙂
