Critique Welcomed As long as we are going on about trees,

I've got one that has its own island.

Looks like it's floating on a giant potato. Nice one, John.

I didn't notice how badly clipped the deepest shadows were on the left or I wouldn't have taken them down so much in PP.

Looks like it's floating on a giant potato. Nice one, John.

I think we can safely say, given this lot, that a giant potato won't be the worst thing someone calls it.

Beautiful, and I don't mind the clipped blacks!

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Looks like a family shot, with the little ones just beginning to grow - they haven't got their leaves yet.

 

[Pete Askew]

That's what Martin's is yearning for! I see less family and more an attempt by the little ones to balance it all out and stay afloat (on the potato - you have to humour him!). Nice.

I like the potato analogy. It does remind me of those fake plastic tree's in preservation areas that stand out as being odd. They are usually aerials.
Great spot and trust we shall get a shot from the island John

 

[Martin Carlin]

Ah not more trees I think I need to go to a desert to escape the trees. Nice shot John I too don't mind blacks clipped a bit I do it all the time.

Are you sure it's not a potato in Texas? Anyways, a grand image there John.
