Converted to black and white. tone mapped. added fog by using Alien Skin smoke and then changed the blend mode to overlay. (added some depth but not really fog) added a vingette. Used the pick tool and drew a circle around the lighted area at the end of the road. feathered the edges by 40 pixels. flood dilled with white and then added a gaussian blur set at 45. lowered opacity and then erased the area by the middle tree. and done
