I like the picture, very creative and full of style, it’s just a shame there’s so much image noise and sharpening. what settings where you using? there’s also some quite harsh fringing around the edge of the main tree trunk. I think that might be due to the compression. The picture itself is wonderful!

I’m using my canon digital, which is basically just a point and shoot except for the ability to change the shutter speed and aperture. This picture is as-is, and I haven’t done anything except put it on my computer. To me, that’s most of what makes it so great!
Heidi Garner
Enchanting it is. This is another place where the faerie folk must live :)

It was here that I saw her,
Among the mist and ferns of an early dawn,
She stood silent, not even a stir,
Blending int the background like she belonged.
Many times I’ve come to find,
But never again I’ve seen her,
It’s like I’ve gone blind,
Just the sun now shines where I remember,
As my heart knows she’ll return in time.
Love the lighting, the way the sun enhances the shadows and the brilliant shades of green.

World class capture…Truly amazing.
I think that I shall never see
A poem lovely as a tree.
A tree whose hungry mouth is prest
Against the earth’s sweet flowing breast;
A tree that looks at God all day
And lifts her leafy arms to pray;
A tree that may in Summer wear
A nest of robins in her hair;
Upon whose bosom snow has lain;
Who intimately lives with rain.
Poems are made by fools like me,
But only God can make a tree.
~Joyce Kilmer, “Trees,” 1914
