"The Bleeding Tree.."

I totally agree—-I am also very sad to see our oxygen and protection get cut down. You have portraid this very well

Awesome work and relate to your words !!! Bravo Birgitta !!!!

gorgeous

WOW!!! Brilliant Image, Birgitta!! The perspective and composition makes the cut tree look like it’s been ostracized from the others and the tones and processing really characterise your title!!!

First, great point! Second, fabulous work! Or visa versa!

This is a stunning Image, I love the effect you have done to it

Beautiful image, colors and treatment!

Cool effects!

Gorgeous treatment Birgitta!
I can really relate to what you’re saying there.

Excellent work on the effect. Great image.

cool

This is a real nice treatment, love the warm effect!

Your work makes me think. I wonder how the trees feel now.

Outstanding work

good work here

I agree with you…excellent work!!!

Stunning work Birgitta, you have really got the feel captured in this image. Love the treatment and tones. You have given this it own environment to match your message..

I’m so into forests too – wonderful piece of art displaying so much natural beauty. Love your treatment here so much!

Awesome work, another one that provokes thought. Excellent Birgitta.

Great work

Great work.

Fantastic colors, nice work on this :)

Thank you everyone!!

nice treatment… and concept

beautiful and sensitive work….

I feel the same Birgitta – something hurts inside. Beautiful treatment and so expressive!

Its a god thing that you have not seen some of the forests out west, where they THIN the forest. It is very ugly. I know of people living in homes that are much much larger than they need, with brazilian hard wood floors, they belong to the Seirra Club. Excuse if spelling is worng.

Powerful image ,this is fantastic Birgitta,beautiful warm colors and the message is just great.

love what you did here…very creative and pretty.

Wonderful work lady. I love the overall tone of this image.

es precioso como un árbol talado puede levantar un sentimiento.

I hear you.

Nice tone – great wrok

Gorgeous image!

Looks wonderful Birgitta, sorry but i am one of those that cuts the trees down, in my defence i must say that for every tree felled two are planted in their place, i only work in sustainable forests in the UK

I know what you mean…I live in a logging town and my heart is broken everyday! Great shot and editing girl!
LOVE YOU TOO!!!

Thank you all… :)

fantastic treatment and tones!

Love the tones in this and the treatment is wonderful.. it has a real aged feel to it and almost looks like a painting on wood.. The red tones in this really give the piece great depth.

Love this…

I share your feelings… Excellent expressive image!

Excellent perspective and color,, Powerful image

great image and words

Love this image!

Great image – the colour is just bleeding out…

Hey Birgitta… congrats on the Challenge cafe win with this.. its a superb piece and well deserved win!

CONGRATULATIONS & JUBILATIONS…. A well deserved win in the “Challenge Cafe” naked comp. Very well done, and most definitely a winning image. It really is a moving image that stirs up thoughts & emotions alike, I too relate to the words you chose to accompany this image. Trees really are necessary for humans in their day to day existence, from the need for paper to doodle or educate, & do the necessaries in the bathroom!!!, through to the need to breathe, It really is one extreme to another. At least we are being educated about the need for trees & are making informed,educated decisions rather than blindly doing what we are told to do. Sorry, i’m just raving now!!. See, i told you this image stirs up stuff!!! I love the overall composition of this photo, The angle,depth & colors make it perfect. I like the title, the tree’s inner cut lines look like blood in this coloring. Once again,... Well done. xxx

Birgitta ,I’m so happy for you ,congrats for winning the challenge cafe…woooooww !!!!!!!!

Birgitta; this is an awesome image, just superb work…. and a powerful statement; I am so happy for you winning the competition; Congratulations!!!

Thank you everyone!! I’m kind of in shock still.
Can’t believe I won.
:-/

Congratulations, Birgitta! Again, This is a wonderful work of art, a clear winner! Well deserved!!!

Right up my street.

One work that truly make me feel of pain! your work is awesome!
