Jack McRitchie 150 Posted May 18, 2013 This is a wonderful addition to the series. It has the air and delicacy of a miniature. Link to comment
stephanie_c1 1 Posted May 19, 2013 i agree with Jack . the 3 large trees and the 2 tiny ones in between.. perfect balance found in Mother Nature Link to comment
Guest Guest Posted June 2, 2013 I very much like the composition and appreciate Jack's take on it. There's a stateliness to it, yet it's not removed like royalty, but rather endearing. Again, the symmetry is felt and nicely explored by you and it's a picture of serenity in many ways. A couple of things stand out to me. First is the color banding in the sky, possibly from the PN compression, where the greens and magentas make themselves a little too pronounced. I also wondering about the degree of sharpening, which is very noticeable in the trees themselves. All this makes me want to see a print of this, because some of these screen anomalies would likely not be an issue if this were well printed. A nice addition to your portfolio. Link to comment

wolfgangarnold 142 Posted June 8, 2013 Many thanks your comments!@Jack: although it shows bare trees, I initially did not 'see' it as part of the series - but you gave me an idea to rearrange photos in portfolio a bit (and add some more trees... more will follow).@Fred: many thanks for your hints. You are right about the magentas - this seems to be a consequence of slight sepia toning and jpeg compressions - maybe should skip toying around with sepias, etc. and keep plan b/w (unless the subject really deserves it). Sharpening is also a point - besides differences between PN / jpeg and raw/tiff - I should be more selective (to get sufficent sharpness into tiny twigs without overemphasizing trunks... So, some ideas for rework - very welcome! Link to comment
alfbailey 4 Posted June 11, 2013 I just noticed the significance of the title, very clever : - ) Balance without perfect symmetry, and harmony without perfect pitch.A very well accomplished photograph, and one that I could see hanging on a wall.Compliments & Best Regards Alf Link to comment
