My dearest kind of three ----------- zp-IMG_7483-crpd_4w

My kind of pine tree...and for some kind of fellow,s simply the "three" kind

of pine tree. Sorry guys i will keep up posting them :--)

Michail, Very impressive!

Michail,

I've notice that many of your images have a lot of really dark (underexposed). Perhaps this is intentional or a function of the time of day the shots are taken. Whatever, I think that many of your images would benefit from by having fewer highly pronounced dark areas.FWIW, Jim

Marco, Jim, thank you for your input.

Jim its a matter of taste, or rather a matter of the mood that i am into when i see (and post proccess) a photo. So when ever you see a dark image of mine it means that i want it to be so. I try to convey something no matter if i ever manage to do so.

But the true gain from the whole proces after all is some honest comments like yours. It's even more important to me than liking one of my pictures. I thank you from my heart for this.

I think the dark foliage and background serve to accentuate the twisted branches that seemingly have been tortured by wind and the elements.

I do like these type of images, I have taken many of trees that seem to cling to life like this one in the face of all adversity, its kind of reassuring. 

Best Regards

Alf
