A grand looking tree ,must look great in spring

cheers

I love them. This one is beautiful. Had a thought. Could you take is closer (avoid the street lamp) and then use a wider lens? I feel there is even a fisheye shot in there. rectilinear would work. and you have that 10mm. Curious.

Yer momma didn't raise no fool - that indeed is a tree!

But what species is it?

Thanks for sharing Dave.

I like it.

Would love to see it in a square crop though, with the treee smack in the middle. I know it goes against rule of 3rds and leading lines into a pic and all that, but reckon it would work well with that subject.

B&W treatment looks great too.

Thanks cupic - yes it does. In summer the Sun sets right behind it. Makes for some nice shots.

Thanks for sharing Dave.

Thanks Jeff. I was going to classify it as a rock but I looked through some Google images and decided it did look more like that thing they call Tree. What species ? Leafless I think

Thanks warped - will have to give that location another go , with wide lens and different angles.

It is nicely balanced Dave. Neat shot the b&w suits it.

roentarre · 11-20-2008, 06:11 AM

The branches are interesting and the B+W conversion is cleverly done.

I would love a bit more grain

vievetrick · 11-20-2008, 06:22 AM

Interesting shot. I have a tree I always say I want to shoot that is on the trip between my home and where I was raised. It is now a must shoot

timbo13 · 11-20-2008, 07:49 AM

Dave, I am glad to learn that I am not the only one with trees I like. That one is something
special and your shot is a good one.

Thanks James - grain would indeed give it an older feel will look into that.

Thanks Tim - not the only one at all - there are several trees I like in the area.

sajmmiller · 11-20-2008, 01:34 PM

Very nice Dave. I really like the overall balance, and that's an outstanding B&W conversion IMHO.

Rudi · 11-20-2008, 01:48 PM

Wow Dave,
that's really neat. I love the B&W conversion everything looks just very harmonic.
Great Shot.

Hiya Dave.
Very nice.

Is this some sort of penance for the Las Vegas trip.....getting to close to nature and the inner self huh?

.......so what did go on in Vegas?

Cheers mate.
