Hard Wired

Hi Gary,

 

well seen and executed photo of this quiet survival act! Nature sometimes shows great resilience where we would not quite expect it. You show the surroundings of the tree just enough to get an idea of where it grows, but the focus is fully on the strangely marked treetrunk, which is suitably evenly lit. I like the square frame. Kind regards, Vincent

Thanks so much Vincent for your comments. I was absolutely amazed whenI saw that the tree had actually continued growing around this fencing wire and survived.

Best regards, Gary

Great image but strangely I feel sorry for the tree.

Interesting find. Must have taken years to grow like this. Looks like the woodpeckers have been at the tree trunk as well.

Strong picture, Gary! I'm sorry for this crippled tree! Well captured! Bravo! Sincerely, Tatiana

Thanks very much, Scott. It sure amazed me when I installed saw it.

Cheers, Gary

Thanks sincerely for your kind comment, Tatiana.

Best regards, Gary

Thanks Wayne....much appreciated.

The drama of the contrast is an immediate hook; the anthropomorphic suggestion of lips set in expression fulfills; and subtler touches of color, pattern, and detail invite continued study.

(forgive my futile attempts to reduce visual experience to text)

Thanks very much, Wayne. I do like your description of the image is.

Regards, Gary.

A captivating image Gary

Love the abstract quality of this wounded survivor

Hello Gary: No wonder you have received so many well-deserved comments. I had to immediately send this image into my favorites because IMHO one rarely sees the whims and quirks (" an abrupt twist or curve") of nature, but did not go unnoticed to a seasoned photographer with great taste. A true delight. DG

Hi Daniel: Well thank you so much for your very generous feedback. Made my day!

Best regards, Gary

Impressive, nearly an X-ray image of a knee joint. Wood that has been suffering a lot.

Hi Herman, I hadn’t seen the knee joint resemblance when I took the photo.

Thanks very much,

Gary
