Nature Listening to a tree

I like the composition of this and the processing, a nice sharp image, a bit confused regards your settings, f19 ? most would choose around f4 for this type of shot.

Thanks for the compliments, snappychappy. I actually set the aperture to 20 because of two reasons:

a) it is a self-portrait so I use it as a precaution because it is hard to focus while using an infrared remote
b) I find it easier to show contrast, especially if I am not showing much colour in the shot

I have to mention that this place is a main tourist spot so there were many people walking around. I had to make the shot really fast.

Did the tree say anything?

Nice shot, well done!

If a tree talks in the forest and there's no one there to hear it, did it really say anything!

cheers
CC.
