Stone and Iron Gates

Today I decided to create a slightly frightening image for October 31. This image began with a color photo that a took a few weeks ago. We found an entrance to Bradley Palmer State Park that I had never seen before, and it has this amazing stone and iron gate. Just beautiful, and mysterious but not really scary in broad daylight with fall colors. (I will post the original photo tomorrow.) But for today, I had some fun trying out scary digital effects. In the end, I settled for a black and white version with a dark vignette to try to make the gate and the path look ominous.
