Default Olive trees selectively light

On a trip in Thassos, Greece I noticed these trees singled out by some soft light... I have tried to bring them out further by making them B&W with dodging and burning... Hope you like it?

Olive Trees Hi-lighted

That is gorgeous. I was thinking the burning bush, but Garden of Eden works, too!

An opportunity like this is rare. First, good eye for even noticing the opt. Secondly you have done a nice job on your pp not to go over board. Thanks for sharing!

I tried to not over do the D&B, but found that the hi-lighted trees stood out better when the tree behind were darker. Thanks for the great feed back.
