That is a great print. i like the sepia. sepia to prints that would make great b&ws can be such a great touch. good job.

Phenomenal. I love bare trees -- you did this one true justice. I especially like you use of the sepia tone, as mentioned by others. Also, it's an interesting crop that drinks up the frame in an eye-catching way.

This photo is taken on my way out of Deep Cut Park after an ice

storm. I had taken a roll of chromes of other trees in the park and

found these maples still clad in ice but starting to drip from the

warming sun. Positioning the camera about 12" off the ground and

just under the trees lowest branches and opposite the sun angle I was

able to silhouette the trunk of the tree against the rising sun. I

think it was shot at F16, 60th of a second, using Ilford XPSuper

400 . I have other renditions of the shot where Dugals scanned the

negative and then printed at 14" X 14" that are really effective.

The sun refracts through the small water droplets causing reflective

stars to show. I would like to hear any ideas on how to improve this

shot conventionally or in photoshop. Thanks, Brad

This is really beautiful, Brad. My only suggestion would be to burn the floor slightly to prevent the eye from going into this bright "hole", and keep our attention focussed on these amazing branches. Best regards.
