Very Cool and Interesting image. Love your vision. The Lines and the Tone are really cool. I wonder what a little more contrast may represent but I think it works well as you have it. !!!
Fantastic subject for high key! A delicate network of shapes and lines. The striking thing for me is the delicate feather-like almost-white leaves. (IR??) The 3D effect of the nearer foliage partially covering the slender branches adds a wonderful interest. I love the distribution of the three groups of branches – excellent seeing and presentation!
Maybe a very small suggestion would be to lighten the branches close to the top edge, as the other edges have a natural light vignette.
Gill, Diane, thank you both. This wasn’t an infrared shot but it has that look.
Beautifully done, Don. I really like the feel of this image with all the intricate light detail that kind of merges into a texture around the darker large limbs.
Don,
This is delightful. This one should be an example defining the term "out of chaos, order, " or however that goes.
A little subtle as I didn’t notice, but you did an effect job with the reverse vignette, ie; lighter fade away rather than the typical darker fade. Well done. No nits or suggestions.
Dennis, Lon, thanks for the kind words.
