Abstract Forest

Today I was out in the snow looking for some interesting trees or images from the snowy forest. I shot the following with the idea to isolate single interesting trees out of the plethora of trees.
But I ended with another idea: to give the trees in the wood a ghostlike appearance.
So beware: this image was heavily processed and is not at all like "reality" - which defines it as "abstract"!?



Should be viewed in larger size. Of click through the image you have access to the original 7360 pixel wide shot.
