Treescape

Definitely not going to see the TRP, your comments are most welcome,

thanks.

Hello Jeff,

I find this a pleasing and well composed abstract.  Abstracts on PN seldom see the TRP, I wish you luck with this one.

Thanks Ben, not enough impact or saturation, I suspect.

I think it's great as an abstract.  Like all good abstracts, I had to spend a minute trying to figure out what the heck this is.  I think it's bark detail of a smooth-barked three like eucalyptus, and the squiggly lines are insect burrows (larval stage, of course).  The coloring is fine -- somewhat B&W with a touch of color.  If I were to suggest anything, it might be to reduce the amount of the brighter white at the top, simply because that tends to attract a viewer's attention at the expense of the rest of the photo; less white might make it more balanced overall.

Thanks Steve, your guess is correct. It is a eucalyptus, and it is rotated because it looks better that way. I wrestled with the brightness at the top. i'm not sure how much more  I can tone it down, and I do see exactly what you mean. 

Well seen Jeff. It does look like a landscape and an attractive image at that.

It is an extraordinary scape, really it is very cute.  The layers of the colours and its random shapes are in a very beautiful management and well communicated with my eyes.

Very well seen, Jeff. I am not bothered by the brighter area on the top, it works well as sky in the abstract landscape. I would even consider cloning out the thin darker strip  top left. It reminds me of one of my early shots of a tree stripped of its bark by insects.
