    Lone Palm Tree - Holga

    This is another from my recent trip to Hawaii.
    The light there is INCREDIBLE! I saw this lone palm tree on a beach near the town on Hana and had to capture it with my Holga.
    What do you think?

    Hello Brian, I like this. The color saturation and the distortion are effective. To me, when an Holga photograph works well, it looks like a scene stepping out of a dream. I can say that this Palm Tree have this effect on me.

    More cool stuff, Brian. The isolation of your subjects through your perspective/in-camera-cropping and the random out-of-focus/flaring effects from your camera combine to result in a nice aesthetic.

    The strong colors and composition definitely give it that surrealist feel. More please!
