wind bent.....

wow! this is massive, great angle and contrasting tones. It has a Wuthering Heights feel to it.
instant fav.

Top shot!! I love the angle and the sky!! OUCH Bull Ants!!

Thats just absolutely brilliant David :-))

Unbelievable David! I feel like I always repeat myself in my comments on your work but this is just so breath taking! Fantastic angle making it have an almost other worldly feel to it. The composition is wonderful with the bent tree being sucked into that beautiful sky. Dead serious, without gushing too much more and causing your head to swell…..this is probably one of my favourite images of yours to date. You keep getting better even when I think that couldn’t be possible. Your talent is really amazing :)

Brilliant shot David, well worth your pain.

Great capture!

Fantastic capture David! Excellent composition and tones! Great work!

Outstanding Murphy!!! A screamer of a shot that is sure to draw stacks of attention…bugger about the ants though:))

WOW, this is such a power image, so much energy, so much motion! Wonderful work David!

Not too kind, just kind enough, seriously, this is a wonderful image, you’ve chosen perfect tones to accentuate the tree against the sky.

Hi Murph, this has a depth within it that tells the story of the west coast. A tragic, heartbreaking and beautiful story. This would have to be one of the best photos I’ve seen. And as someone with a degree in visual arts, I don’t say that lightly. Matty.

Incredible image. xx

The angle and composition are absolutely brilliant here David, fantastic atmospheric shot! Irina

Really beautiful shot of such a wonderful Banksia.
