Thanks - it is certainly a crowded group of pruning actions
Originally posted by othar I think so, although I would prefer a tad less contrast (or brighter blacks, depending on what you did in post)
I must confess, I have only very recently started trying to do more than crop, so have a long way to go before understanding what I am doing with any other kind of PP.
Originally posted by MikeNArk Really interesting. Looks like a tree within a tree.
I found it a fascinating conglomeration.
Originally posted by angkymac Interesting "togetherness" of trees!
I don't recognize the tree. Is it something from Australia?
Good capture of an interesting arrangement.
I like the PP on the second shot.
Angky.
Thanks - no idea what kind of tree it is, I think some kind of gum/eucalyptus: if anyone wants to help out on that, here is a link to a shot of the tree:
Microsoft OneDrive - Access files anywhere. Create docs with free Office Online. Originally posted by aaacb I like the processing in the second shot. Maybe try darkening the top right part of the image to focus the view towards the center.
Heh .... I repeat my reply to @othar, " I have only very recently started trying to do more than crop" and have no clue as to how to do any kind of PP on only part of an image. Fiddling around with adjusting exposure on the whole image has been a new challenge!!!!
Originally posted by CedrusMacro I would agree with the processing improving the image, although maybe something in-between the two would produce the finest result? It's a telling story of human interaction with the tree from the cuts to remove less desirable stems.
Thanks for the interest and comments - attempting a half-way step might be a challenge for me: as it is, I thought what I had done was a very small adjustment!!!
Here is a link to a hi-res JPEG version of the original, and a high-res JPEG of the modified version for anyone interested.

PS I am only(??) using the Ricoh Digital Camera Utility V5.9.2 at the moment. I have downloaded a trial version of the latest DXO Photolab, but it will not currently handle K3 iii DNG files, so not doing much with that, although this Tree shot was taken taken with the KP.
Again, thanks to all of you for your comments and interest.
