Winter Trees 2

[Korky]

Another image from a walk in central Lancashire a few weeks ago.

 

Shot on a Fuji X10, it's had a bit of a twiddle in PhotoShop.

And it's a lovely scene. I really like the composition. The larger tree v the smaller tree adds some nice depth. The 3 birds are very nicely positioned. A very pleasing image to view for my eyes.

Whether there's a tale to be told re the birds is matterless, everything just works!

 

The only that I wouldn't have done either, until someone pointed it out to me that is, is get the clone tool on the main tree and lose the branches that are venturing out of shot right.

[Martyn]

That's a cracking shot Korky! Those birds really make the composition for me, not sure about the fallen branch though.

[FUJI]

WOW! Korky.....

This is truly, one if your best yet.........

Just how did you train those birds to fly in formation for you like that?

Phil is right about, cloning those edge touching twigs, otherwise leave well alone......a real wall hanger.

You will get Gold Top milk in your Horlicks tonight......and Matron will tuck you in;-)

What really makes it IMO is the anthropomorphic branch beneath the bigger tree, looking for all the world like some creature sitting up and begging.

Just fantastic! I like everything about this.

I think the frosty blue tint really work well on this one, lovely picture Korky,

Thanks for the kind words.

 

I'm seriously thinking about those edge branches now. I was quite happy with them before I posted, but I can see how they may need a bit more space. Ta!

They don't bother me, Korky. I think they might even make the image a bit too neat.

I like it just as it is

I have to agree. I like it as it is too.

[Karenp]

This does it for me!

Korky - this is a very pleasing scene - but I too wonder if you could just clone the branch tips on the right to leave even a small space, and then to convert it to mono.

 

But remember, I'm not a landscaper so most of what I usually say often doesn't really work in the eyes of lanscapers, lol..

The Birds just make this a top shot, so well composed as a peaceful serene scene but the birds give real movement and the fallen branch drama. Really love it.
