Roots

Bullseye on this one Bruce! Really moody.

Wonderful image!!

Hello Friend, Thats really sweet! Black and White. I would like to capture like this, can you tell me how, or tell me what to read. I am learning from inspirational talent. I haven’t shoot B & W in a while. Your shot, seems to be mystical. Does your heart stop, when you find a shot like this?
Thanks for sharing your expression, and reminding about B & W. Darrell

Beautiful image here.

Fabulous-well captured.

i’m a sucker for spooky trees. yoink, straight to my favourites. cheers.

brilliantly captured – the black & whiteness is spot on too :]

Fantastic job…the image feels almost prehistoric.

Hi Bruce, Are these the roots At Avebury , at the start of the ridgeway ? What a great image. . Spot on.

cmposed perfectely, love the tones

I like the way you use the roots as a foreground to draw you into the shot.

From Bruce to Bruce….excellent ‘olde worlde’ drama in this.

i like it very beautiful .

This is so so good Bruce

this is captivating
dark
haunting
and beautiful

Amazing image!

I can’t remember that I’ve seen any roots like the ones in your picture before.
They remind me a little of the tree of life which is featured in the movie
“The Fountain”.
Sublime!

Hi Bruce
Just seen your comment – so pleased you had a great time in Northumberland – can’t wait to see your images – it’s a great place isn’t it – one of Englands best kept secrets – you come up during the winter even less people. All of my shots of the beach are either Low Newton (the one by Dunstanburgh) or Bamburgh. Anyway get through your work asap and look forward to seeing your work.

Thanks, Michael – you are too kind!

This is totally awesome, nature is beautiful!!

I know this tree, excellent image !!!!

Wow! This is so dramatic and the angle adds so much to it – love it :)

Wonderful capture…

Wow ! these are some wicked roots, great lighting too.

Great shot!

worthy of a harry potter shot!

Great capture! Excellent lighting!

I really like this! I think I’d like to see it in color too.

This is wonderful. Great texture and interesting tones. I love IR!!!

Lovely :)

fantastic hard to imagine it took so many years for your model to grow into such a wonderful subject for a portrait

I have been to this spot about three times in the five years that I have lived in the UK and I have to say that it is my absolute favourite spot . These trees are worth the visit to Avebury alone- never mind the stones. Great shot.

Amazing trees – you’ve done some great infrared stuff here!

Excellent shot, definately a cool perspective!

Wonderfully captured.

Great dynamics in this BW—excellent take on an amazing subject!

Ah ha !!!! Avebury,, found it .. excellent !!!!

has fantastic contrasts and looks great.

Wow! IR really works here. Your choice of perspective creates wonderful depth. I really enjoy the contrasty light play on the trunks and the tangle of roots. Eerie!

I am in awe. This leaves me absolutely breathless with wonder at such a biosystem. They are wonderful entities, breathing and alive…aware. I am humbled by this photograph. Thank you. Sincerely, Dawn.
