Guardian of the Forest

absolutely awesome!

beautiful image

lovely image Rhana. Super light tones and texture. The light on the trees is fantastic! Rock on!

gorgeous image babe – love the atmosphere – very moody and foreboding – wonderful lighting too :)

wow, this beautiful old soul looks dark and mysterious!
such a magnificent duotone and incredible detail! love it! ;-)

Yep.

Fabulous image Rhana…I love this dark moody thing you got going here. Well done!

Ohhhh, what a beauty. Love the tones in this. A definite favourite, Rhana. =-)

Very grand image with beautiful processing. 3D looking this jumps out of the shot, yet takes up a small amount of the area. Deceptively done like a trick of the mind. Beautiful overcast sky over the scene too – adds to the atmosphere.

mysterious and edgy…great artwork…

What tales, indeed?

Beautiful moody image, Rhana. It speaks volumes about perserverance and sturdiness.

love the tones in this…

Superb image!! Great work!

Interesting looking tree! Nice shot.

Dark and mystical. Looks like bad times are coming to the forest, or maybe my imagination is running of with me because of the dark area on the left. ;o)

Stunning capture. I love the treatment!

Love the mood to this shot, very dark, excellent capture!

Such a proud lady, showing off her beautiful plumage. She`s been doing a great job for countless years. Beautiful job you`ve done. You`ve told her story of centuries in a single glance. She should be thrilled that you have immortalized her so eloquently.

This is brilliant! I’m no tree hugger… but aren’t treesfantastic! Love the shape of this, how it is bowing to one side. Your composition and angle on this are spot on and the processing is brilliant. The darkness to the left works so well as if the highlighting the tree… a break in some foreboding clouds.. love the light and atmosphere in this! Great work Rhana!

fantastic work

Visionary.

Beautiful Rhana – so magical

love the darkness of the moment !
great shoot

stunning mood and toning, lovely work.

Gorgeous, love the tones you’ve used, work perfectly to create a mood.

How cool!! Love the subject and treatment! A wonderful metaphor for longevity and strength! :D

Love the processing Rhan,
poor old gal, been guardian for countless years and now seems ready, in her submissive stance, to give way to the inevitable …......

you always give a magical touch to the natural looking things making them come alive and worth watching it.

Absolutely superb capture and amazing treatment. Love this a lot.

Yum, yum – how wonderfully moody is this – your rendering of this beauty is as sublime as every Rhana.

Beautiful and mysterious…well done…Bert

looks like a noble presence Rhana… so love the tonality of the mage especially the highlighted grass at the base of the trunk… love the drama in the sky and overall feel you have presented here… love how a single image can tell the story of time!

Wonderful work Rhana.
That is a mighty tree and you have done it justice with this moody and atmospheric image.

super moody image…. excellent processing!

Stunning, amazing bold image, great processing!

Awesome piece of work

This is Brilliant Rhana, Ive got to et to tassie, well done

Fabulous drama in this image, Rhana, love the tones too! I’d dearly love to visit the Tarkine one day, since I;m a tree-hugger at heart :D

Crap that’s cool. Seriously, crap…I hate that you do good work. ;)

Superb work Rhana.

fantastico…the perfect salute to all that’s wild and strong. Love your processing..dramatic!

great photo! awesome tones! love it!

such powerful lighting! great shot!

incredible work!

I know I commented earlier, but I found my words again. Yep. It’s a moody, brilliant image.

Wow! This tree seems to have taken on an almost animated life of its own… it conjurs up images of the ledgendary Ents in the great stories by Tolkein. Magestic, powerful and yet somehow anguished….such an emotive and moving image.

WOW!! this is amazing.

This is exquisite art! You have captured so many feelings in this one image. Beautiful!!

Wonderful image,beautiful detail.

Awesome work! Please consider submitting this to Moody and Evocative
