    Re: Lonesome Tree

    I like it, though I wish there was more of the tree! The color and tone is awesome, and I love the "mystic" feel.

    Nice shot,

    Jared

    Thanks Jared , the cropped of tree was intentional as i wanted to create a mysterial feel (when you can't see everthing) to the pic ;)
    This image was taken with velvia then converted to monotone and probably that gives the pic a richer tonality ... Thanks again

    This is a beautiful, quiet shot. Feels like a Zen garden.
    Is the blur on the water due to mist or motion of the water in a longer exposure?

    Thanks Chunk , you're right ... It's due to the motion of the water , this shot was exposed for 20 secs , it was day time and a 5 stops ND was used in order to "slow" down th shutter ....

    Very creative and effective. I hope you show us some other uses of that filter.

    Awesome shot juzzus. It's very relaxing to look at. The tones are great and you've captured the water very nicely with the long exposure.

    Hi,
    I see a tree with two legs just lands on the ground. Very moody!

    This is so cool. I don't know about zen like, because I think I would be running in this world rather than relaxing (meaning it's got a sort of scary feel to it for me). But it really is a great image.

    Re: Lonesome Tree

    This one doesn't seem as lonesome as the other, more like its testing the water.

    Nice, but I wish it was a little sharper. The lack of anything in the left side of the photo is a slight issue with me, but I can see that you wanted it like that to create the mood... It just seems a little sparse overall. But it is still a successful shot. Nice eye. GB
