Exercise in black & white

Recommended Posts

An interesting photograph, prompting a few questions!

 

1. What does the 'straight out of camera' version look like?

2. What were your editing steps in Affinity Photo?

3. What is the subject of the photograph??

@Alfred This is the 'out of camera version'

Thanks for those details. However, I'm still not sure what the subject is! My best guess is that it's a photograph of seedlings in a nursery.

Unless I'm mistaken, I've seen this kind of thing before but I don't know what it's called.
I think it's a kind of farm "road" surface that allows for drainage across a wide area while still letting vehicles move across it without creating ruts in the soil. I think it also acts a bit like a cattle grid.
I haven't seen one for years but I don't get into the country much these days.
