The light penetrates

Another glorious morning in southern Staffordshire.  I took a walk down Chillington Avenue, now a thick belt of trees that runs from Coven to Chillington Hall.  The sun only penetrates in a couple of places in the early morning.  I just love the way it has illuminated the opening here, lighting the floor, carpeted in fallen leaves.

Technical:  Unusually this is a straight shot, processed in Lightroom, using the basic sliders available.  I also took a series of shots to create and HDR image (5 shots, 1 stop apart).  It was processed in HDR Efex Pro but on comparison of the two I preferred the single shot.  I've added the HDR to extras so you can compare the two, if you want.
