Curved

Comments appreciated.

Nice detail picture!

Best regards Bulent!

This could be a detail from Lucas Cranach's "Garden of Eden"; it has a sinuous yet innocent quality that reminds me of the work of that painter.

I quite like the sensuous curves, enhanced by the delicate light, and I appreciate the fact that you present this as a color photo, as the textures and colors of the bark are quite lovely & very subtle...  (a B&W version may bring shades  of E. Weston to mind perhaps..) Jack's comment above is quite interesting, although I admit that I don't really feel/see it the same way... However, this definitely has a strong organic feel, and yes, perhaps something of a painterly touch after all... I rather like the way you managed to allow for a certain depth, which retains one's attention, after the 1st impression of viewing this. A simple, yet original take for sure, Bulent

nature, in all its natural beauty.  excellent shot.  this would be a seven.  best, j

Thank you all for your kind visits and comments; much appreciated in the recent climate!

Pierre,
Happy that you liked this :)

Jack,
I have now found an image of "Garden of Eden". There was too much to see and I enjoyed watching it very much. Fortunately (for me, at least), Lucas is not available to criticize!

Marjolein,
This tree (Prunus ceracifera) is very close to where I live. The light touches it at certain hours of the day after reflecting from a building. The sky provides some fill. I always wanted to photograph the "sensuous curves" for some reason (may well be sinuous and innocent, but I am not sure!). I still like to watch the tree and I even think of photographing her again...

Jamie,
Really pleased to see you enjoy this one.
