Out of this world

I was hoping for a nice tree picture but what i got strikes me very differently.

It’s like a shot from another planet. The lens flare would normally have ruined it but the very nature of the flare and thestyle almost seem to add to the interplanetary mood.

The pic is totally unmodified. I’d be interested in your opinion – have i been watching too much Dr Who or does it really have an air of the outer worlds?

    It’s a good one. I’m not normally that fussed about IR images, but the flare really does add to it. But – you probably have been watching too much Dr Who

    Thanks for your thoughts. I have started looking at lens flare and wondering if it has a place (sometimes) ...

    I went back and tried to re-take it with the sun in a different point. I had the same problem with the flare but on the opposite side :-) and the tree didnt stand out from the background due to the way the sun shone. I might try midday next time …..

    Thanks for the compliments. God (or mother nature or chaos at work in the universe) created it – i just snapped :-)

    It’s funny. every tree I see seems to scream out at me ‘take me, take me!”.

    The lens flair adds a lot ot this photo, it gives it that surreal effect. Great job, lightsmith :)

    Thanks MK. As I get older I tend to appreciate flares more LOL. (that’s a 70s joke I guess).
