Beautiful. Love all the different layers you’ve been able to capture.

Love the green and shades of terracotta, skin like texture, and rippling like water. ;)

Congratulations Picketty – looks fabulous. This reminds me of a time, a few years ago, when I was creating a new website for a video group, and I was looking for an interesting palette of colours to use. That morning I walked close by a tree just like the one you have photographed, and cried out “Eureka!” – I photographed it (digitally) then used colour sampler back on my computer to define the colours. So your photo took me back to admiring Nature’s beautiful choice of colour. Keith.

I agree with all of the above .. Nice composition of an attractive subject. I do love the feel of watery movement in the detail.
