Untitled 15

Thank you for your comments - and ratings if you feel so inclined :) M

You have got some interesting woodlands to work with ! Not sure if the green tint works. There is a lot of mystery going on here, and a classic sepia or straight black and white would create an interesting look.

I like the way this looks...the color works for me, I think it makes the scene forboding...good job!

UNA COMPOSICION MUY BIEN COMPENSADA FELICIDADES

Looks like the enterance of an enchanted forest with all these hanging roots, the unnatural color adds to the feeling... Pnina

I dont now what is this and how you got it but is like in a fairytale with elves and dwarves .. .. :)

congrats!

I agree with Alexandru ... where is Frodo?

 

Maria

Dreamy...

I like this pic very much.

Thanks for sharing.

 

Wow, thank you all for such supportive comments!

 

Yeah, Frodo was around, but he put on his ring before I could press the shutter ;)

 

I have a few more from this series I have yet to process and upload. Will be experimenting with different post processing techniques which will probably result in each image having its own unique tonal characteristics.

 

Thanks again :) M

Impressive shots Michael. I think what I like the best about these shots is the strong line and paths through the trees. I think you have amazing eyes. (No I'm not flirting with you!)

Impressive Michael, I agree that I would prefer b&w. Bravo. If the enchanted forest is near you, you can do a lot with these trees, try a person, overexpose underexpose.... thanks, Vasilis

WHOA! These things are awesome! I love this series - though the color doesn't work for me in this one. Needs to be less green. More toward sepia, b&w, or something with subtle colors... desaturated by half, a bit of burning. These are fabulous though - work with them! :)

Don/Vasilis/Kathy, thank you all for your feedback. Yes, this sare is actually very close to where I work - and I mean very close! ;)

 

I will be revisiting the area repeadtedly in future during different times of the day to capture it's changing 'moods'.

 

As for the 'colour' treatment, well, I like it - I think it is the non-conformist within me that keeps shouting, "be different, be different!!" :) I will do a straight monotone conversion though, and see if that gets a different reception.

 

And Don, thank you for your compliment about my 'eyes'. And even if you were flirting with me - I'm taken! Haha ;) M

This photo is extremely amazing...I love the depth and the spooky tree roots!

Thanks, Lance. I keep meaning to revisit this area... one day! M :)
