Trones Wood, Somme.

"...he remembered the dead in Trones Wood, the unburied dead with whom one lived, he might say, cheek by jowl, Briton and Hun impartially confounded, festering, fly-blown corruption, the pasture of rats, blackening in the heat, swollen with distended bellies, or shrivelling away within their mouldering rags; and even when night covered them, one vented in the wind the stench of death."
The Middle Parts of Fortune: Somme and Ancre, 1916, Frederic Manning

Trones Wood, Somme

"To talk of a 'wood' is to talk rot. It was the most dreadful tangle of dense trees and undergrowth imaginable, with deep, yawning broken trenches criss-crossing about it. Every tree broken off at top or bottom and branches cut away, so that the floor of the wood was almost an impenetrable tangle of timber, branches and undergrowth, blown to pieces by British and German heavy guns for a week. Never was anything so perfectly dreadful to look at...particularly with its dreadful addiction of corpses and wounded men, many lying out for days and days."

Lt.Col Frank Maxwell VC
 
Thanks Amar - you're extremely kind. :)

This was using one of the Pen's mono modes, Profile 2 in this case. It's possible to tweak hi/shadows and various filters up to +3 strength. This was shadow 2/high 2 with +1 red filter.
