Trees




I took these yesterday, Saturday 29 January 2011. It was a still day, no wind, no clouds and virtually no colour in the sky. I liked the patterns the trees made, I liked the way they were just silhouettes. I don't usually 'play' with my photos but these seem to lend themselves to a bit of editing and colour enhancing. I don't have my photoshop any more so I had to make do with the basic microsoft editing software........but the results aren't too bad.

    "like the forest fight for sunlight
    that takes root in every tree
    they are pulled up by the magnet
    believing they're free'

    A bit stark and eerie - I like this one.

    Marvelous. Are you familiar with fractals? This picture shows off the fractal nature of the trees wonderfully.

    Great stuff. Your pictures keep reminding me of fractals and, this one, of the Mandlebrot set. Amazing.

    I am running out of superlatives. This one, with the vines on the branches and trunk, is incredible.

    Having seen them all, this is my favorite. But a tough choice. I like them all.

    This is quite beautiful. The starkness of hibernation before the blooming.

    I like this also. I can see a large print of this with the left cropped off. A long and narrow picture with a thin black frame. I would hang it.

    Yes, very nicely done.

    Trees and clouds are some of my favourite things to look at. These are lovely. I use picnik (the free version) to decorate my photos sometimes.

    You can see the birds very plainly and maybe even a nest at the top of the big tree.

    I love the skeletal shapes of trees in winter.

    I agree, it would make a terrific print.

    It's kinda weird, but I like it!!

    I like the light in this one, gives it a kind of ethereal feel.

    I like it...can see this as a feature wall in a boutique or cafe maybe.

    great ghostly effect

    This would be great on the cover of a horror novel. Man! this is good.

  30. Acoustic Eagle31 January 2011 at 21:52

    absolutely stunning. I reckon this one would look great enlarged or reproduced in paint on a wall.

  31. Acoustic Eagle31 January 2011 at 21:53

    The starkness of the trees along with the grey blue and pink pearly colour works so well.
