Ancient Maples

David... One of the best forest images I've seen in a long while. The separation and depth is amazing... Mike

 

 

Thank you very much Michael That is one of the nicest comments I've received on a non-dog shot - (I'm trying to diversify!!).

 

Best, David

Thoughts welcome!

 

Thanks, David

Superb, like it very much. Systematic background looks excellent. 7/6

I really like this photo.

 

Very well done shot indeed.

This scene is magical. With these wonderful old maples and their ideally contrasting background, you have captured an image that might be perfect.

David,

 

Good eye, the background enhances these old trees and the inclusion of the groundcover adds color. I like it

 

 

Warm regards, Pamela

Thanks very much all - so appreciate the time you've taken to comment.

 

Regards, David

Wonderful picture!

Much appreciated Arturas.

For me, what ties the background to the trees is the fact that there is some grey/green on the trunk of the trees, which matches the grove of tree trunks. It ties the whole scene together so there isn't such a stark separation. Great DOF and good eye on this! (Do I see a dog behind one of those trees?) Sorry.....just joking about your comment above......bravo on trying to expand your repertoire! :-)

Hi Crystal - and thanks for your visit and kind words.

 

You had me going for a second there, since there were two dogs running around off camera at the time - and I thought one of them must have jumped into the picture after all!

Great shot, wonderful composition. I would have commented on one of your dog pix but there were too many to chose from. Obviously you love the animal as do I and it shows. they certainly respond to your lens. thank you for your recent comment and keep up the good work. Best regards, rek.

Thanks very much for stopping by Richard - good to hear from a fellow Michigander.
