Nature's Sculpture

Taken on the way to McMahons Lookout, Wentworth Falls (Blue Mountains, Australia) in April 2008. The entire pine forest was lichen-covered … I felt this fallen tree made a wonderful natural sculpture.

The Blue Mountains are World Heritage listed – while people visit The Three Sisters and the more popular falls and lookouts in their tens of thousands, this area down Kings Tableland Road is relatively untouched and well worth a visit

Nature's Sculpture belongs to the following groups:

A Wonderful Image, Rosalie !!!Your lighting is superb and give it so much depth and character, and I agree with you that it really is natural sculpture !!
Marvin Collins, 2 months ago

Excellent find Rosalie, I like the finish, well done!! You’re going to have to give me your formula for this finish sometime when you get time.
Roger Sampson, 2 months ago

There’s that Rosalie beautiful editing again. What a shot – the moss – the bare tree – and that angle. Just so well done.

A “first to comment” high five to you Phil! Thanks buddy for the encouraging comments.
Rosalie Dale IPA in reply to Marvin Collins’s comment, 2 months ago

Hey Marvin – shame we all can’t sit down in a big room and demonstrate these things isn’t it!!! What a lot of fun we’d have.
I’ve bubbled you with some info – see how you go – otherwise I’ll try and get some kind of formula worked out!
Rosalie Dale IPA in reply to Roger Sampson’s comment, 2 months ago

Nature provided the scene Rog – I just framed it really! One of the great things about this hobby is how it keeps one grounded and in touch with the Creator!

Rosalie Dale IPA in reply to Warren Williams’s comment, 2 months ago

Well if it weren’t for you and people like you, I’d be still back in P&S happy-snap-land! Thanks for the pushes over the past year or so Warren!
Rosalie Dale IPA in reply to Antoine de Paauw’s comment, 2 months ago

I wouldn’t expect anything less from a fun-guy like you Tonny!
Rosalie Dale IPA in reply to Darren Sharp’s comment, 2 months ago

Wow Darren I do hope the red and white mushies are still out for you – they were so prolific!!! These pines are the ideal breeding ground – just don’t let the kids eat ‘em or you’ll need to tie lead balloons to their feet! (Hmmmmmm incidentally I suspect you’ve dropped off my watchlist – why does that happen occasionally? I’ll go check!!)

You felt right, it’s a wonderful natural sculpture. I love that lichen cover on the dry branches.
I should very much like to be in that big room for a demonstration, Rosalie. It’s a wonderful formula you have.
Excellent composition, wonderful, warm colours.

Cracking work my friend, just great..

And Kofoed I want to see how you do your magic beach scenes!!! Need some video conferencing happening here I think!!! Thanks my friend.
Rosalie Dale IPA in reply to Jason Connolly’s comment, 2 months ago

Why does ‘cracking’ always remind me of Wallace and Gromit (Love them to death, so it is OK!!) Thanks for the kind words Jason – very much appreciated.
