Prayers from the Convoluted Dead

Maybe it's the time of year, but when I look at this driftwood I see

twisted bodies and limbs reaching up to the sky pleading to be lifted

out of hell.

A wonderful b&w conversion. Fine tones and composition. (And quite a description.) Regards, Joe

Good composition and title Linda! best wishes

Photo and tones are very nice; i like the way horizontal "V" from the branches opens up to the water taking your eye that way and to the clouds. Also the vertical element on the left holds your eye in the picture. That said, the tree projecting from the water to tip of branches could be distracting. Bob G.

 

 

 

Thanks for looking and commenting. I appreciate it.

 

Bob, Thank you for taking the time to comment and the advice. I wasn't sure about that tree, but now I am. It is distracting. Warm regards.

Hello Linda. What a shot and what imagination....great interpretation and title as well. Best regards, Neville H.

This is excellent Linda. It is poetic, powerful and dramatic.

Neville, Adan,

 

 

Thanks for looking and for your comments. I appreciate it. All the best.

 

 

So much of a powerful well exposedand balanced photograph, great contrast and tone also amazing DOF .

 

 

Wishing you all of the best

Really liked this, Linda. The tall tree broke the symmetry for me , though. I took the tree out but it affected the balance. Probably just me. My neighbours think I'm unbalanced. Anyway, I tried this.

 

Excellent and very original composition.

Thank you for taking the time to do this. Now it looks like the Feller Buncher From Hell harvesting the last two trees on earth ;) I think you are absolutly right about that tree ruining the symmetry and balance. I do appreciate you pointing things like this out. How else does one learn? I think it would look better if I just cloned it out of there all together, which I will do. I probably won't repost it though. Warm regards, Linda

 

 

Thank you stopping by and your comments. As always they are very much appreciated.

 

Amazing shapes and the clouds add to this not to mention that last one standing - excellent job

just another perspective...but i like it just as is ;) hi Linda! sorry i haven't visited in a while... john

I love this piece of work, the subject, the vision and the execution (no pun intended). Beautiful!

Thank you! It's good to hear from you. I'm glad you like it.
