Thanks. I worked on them to get a magical dream-like feeling. I think some of the effect is lost on the smaller version.

It definitely has a surreal look to it, Dan. It almost looks like it's mounted on a lightbox. Interesting shot. The sky is very dynamic and the tree is so solid and solitary...nice contrast.

Thank you for your kind comments everyone.

 

Leslie, as you know, I usually put my photos in a frame with a white border, but with this one, I tried this black border and it reminded me of when I would put my old medium format color slides on a light table. Maybe out of nostalgia it worked for me.

As an aside, my inspiration for this photo was the paintings of Ross Penhall, which I really love. I wasn't driven by any particular painting, but I was hoping to capture some of the wonderful, dream-like and slightly cartoonish feeling present in his work.

I am usually not a fan of oversaturated, heavily colour manipulated images, however this is a truly magical composition and the colours are integral to the concept, rather than merely someone attempting to punch up their photo. I agree with other comments here, you have created and inner glow with this image which leaves me feeling that I am viewing it on a light table. Very fine work indeed. Congrats !

Hi Dan,

This is a beautiful shot and as everyone has pointed out the colors are incredible. I also really like the smoothness of the grass in contrast to the puffiness of the clouds. The red tree just seals the deal. Well, congrats on another excellent shot! Katherine

Dan, having seen this one, I am honored that you have generously commented on one of my pics. Through a masterly executed work you have turned a rather much photographed subject into an excellent, aesthetically pleasing, piece of art.
