Forest

I think I recall reading one of your posts eleswhere on this site to the effect that when you try to create an "abstract" image it doesn't quite work. When I see this one I must respectfully disagree.

Wonderfully seen and captured. Kind regards, m.

Really really really fantastic !! Now I want to know, was there any photoshop here ?... I'd love an answer - via e-mail is easy...

 

One of the very best images I've seen on photo.net...

On this one, Photoshop was used, but only Curves to adjust the contrast and Unsharp Mask, which is almost always necessary when working with digital cameras or scanners.

could hardly trust my eyes...

It looks like an old woodcut. I can see soldiers bow hunting and a stag chased by dogs...

The geometric wonder of this natural phenomina is so beautiful, so pervasive. It's funny and sad and wonderful that people might doubt it's existence outside of this image, when it can be seen everywhere.

Your selection and framing are very direct and respectful, and make a beautiful composition. Thanks... t

Great job on seeing this!

Looks like bronchial tubes, or capillaries. A whole new take on the concept 'mother earth'. The arrangement is well abstracted for the chosen frame, & the raised/indented formation produces a lovely texture. When I have photographed wet sand the colour result is horrible but here the yellow grains relieve that muddy look I so often end up with.

The fact that your title suggests the fractal-like quality of nature is a sign that you have a reason to believe your photograph is an artifact of a very high order of mathematical expression. I see that mystery unveiled rather nicely here. Congratulations. Stunning.

Well done !!!

Wonderful job !

This is my favourite in this series. I see a forest of trees, as the title suggests. Sand patterns occuring during rising and falling tides can be compelling subjects. Throw in some side lighting from a low rising or setting sun creates some nice/fine shadows which make these images very subtle.

I've have experimented in this direction and will keep your photo in mind next time I am out. Thanks .. Geoff

Great how you captured nature's painting, Brian. It does look like a forest.

This intrigues me and I'd like to know what made the design, if you know?

 

The "Oh, WOW!" comments have been made. I'll just say that I think this is good, yet there is something about it that I'm not sure I like. Could be the brown colors in the center, or just the darkness...Either way, What do I know?!

 

Nice Picture.

Where is the photo?

Had I seen that in a museum I would have said it was worth the visit.

This is ok, but it looks like an attempt to duplicate Greenwoods classic shot

funny the ratings are so high on yours in comparison

That's funny, bcause this image was made 9 months before the Greenwood image and beside that, it's an irrelevant comparison. I have seen pictures of a man's face in the morning sun, does this mean I am imitating that when I make a photo of a man in the morning?... t

... and the ratings are pretty much equivalent anyway.

Very nice abstract. I like when fantasy begins to work. Out on the beach... Well done.
