    The warm light…catching the base of the trunk,
    and subtle motion of the foliage…
    sheer Perfection Tony

  • Tony Middleton replied

    hi Louise,
    Well analysed as alwasy, I tohught the wind motion on the foliage was going to totally destroy the image but in the end it wasn’t nearly as bad as I had anticipated and is quite nice…

    thanks :)

  • Vikram Franklin

    Vikram Franklin

    Fantastic capture. Love the light and the stark contrast between the two halves of the tree – how one side of the tree is bare and the other side has leaves.

  • Tony Middleton replied

    hi Vikram,
    I’m glad you noticed that and more so appreciate it…at the time of exposing the shot I was cursing the side with foliage as it was blowing in the wind…but in the end I think it still works well…

    cheers and thank you !
