Interesting composition Rob. Quite abstract.Something I'd not myself probably see. Glad you did.

Looking again it could be or is the sky. Or looking into a river with rapids.

Nice one, Rob. Was the dark sky done in post or did you use a red filter on the lens?

What a wonderful image, Rob. Love the contrast of the strong highlight verticals with the complex interweave of the bare branches, and that cloud is an added bonus. Superb.

Thanks, lads. I saw it immediately as an abstract, rather than a nice shot of trees. The clouds really were the deciding factor, cutting across the verticals in a perfect position. I had a yellow filter, Brian, but also put it through a Nik Silver filter called Low Key, which darkened the sky and brought out the trees. I'm particularly pleased with how it worked out, as it is almost exactly what I hoped it would look like at the time. And I don't mind combining analogue film with a modicum of digital processing of the sort which emulates darkroom techniques.
