Road to Kingsley Plantation

On the drive to the Kingsley Plantation, I pulled the car over just here and made this image. As a Yankee, the lushness of this little dirt road scene was too unusual to pass by unrecorded.

This looks almost exactly like a Wynn Bullock picture I've seen, except he has a toddler in the foreground on the road staring up at the trees. And his is darker. You might want to compare if you can find it. I think it is the first print in the Aperture book on Bullock, but I'm just guessing. I've wanted to find a road like that for a long time... Very nicely done.
 
Its a more than fine image as is. A great sense of scale. I will not comment on printing (which looks fine to me) as my monitor is terrible. This is actually a very simple image, which is unlikely to grow boring. Simple things that as 'right' tend to remain 'right'. I agree about size. This one needs to be big (20x16 ?) to carry the towering slightly menacing feel to the trees.

Beautiful, especially the color. I don't think it has to be big to be effective. 8 x 10 would work for me just fine. It controls my eye completely as it's forced to wander through every part of the picture, and there's no clutter anywhere; therefore, it's perfectly composed.

Did you tone this print or is it just an untoned print on warmtone paper?
