One Tree

Ok , new direction for me. i’m trying to stretch my wings creatively and since I am already obsessed with cooking up color tones for my pictures, i figure the next step is to start inserting textures. I hope you enjoy and any constructive comments are welcome.

    I couldn’t fail to love this image, Larry. But I also bet I couldn’t fail to love the untouched original.

  • Larry Stewart replied

    I know what you mean, it was very tempting to do this photograph as a pure black and white, but I just wanted to try something new. With textures I want to be very careful because I would never want to mess with the integrity of the photograph too much. I still want the soul of the picture to shine through. Thanks so much for your feedback John.

    This is a great shot. This tree looks so lonely, but with the tone you added to the photo is has some warmth to it.
    How did you manage to do the textured look? I love it

  • Larry Stewart replied

    Hi Stephanie – the texture is just a another photograph. For example say you photographed the surface of a rusty barrel or did a close up of tree bark, you could then use that photo and overlay that texture onto your main photograph. Then with photo editing software you can adjust and fade how intense the texture is so that it does not over power your main image. I’m sure I am not explaining it very well, and there is more to it than that, but that is the jist of it. :) Thank you so much for your comment and kind words.

    A real warmth to this shot, and yet there’s also a real feeling of isolation so it’s an interesting contrast. Congrats on the feature.

    I like this image and, sorry, I do know why.
    It is simple,
    Crafted with delightful layers
    Monochrome-d to fous the attention.
    Framed to capture the eye unconventionally dead centre in the forbidden 1/3
    Sorry I know why I like it.

  • Larry Stewart replied 16 days ago

    Congrats, you are now a front runner for best comment of all time! I certainly need to realize that sometimes people will know why they like a picture of mine. LOL

    Thanks so much for your kind words and allowing my wife and I have to have a good laugh this morning.

    I’m in a meeting and writing down what some brown suited over priced efficiency expert is whittering on about for the last 20 minutes and realise there’s more to life than jail as I mentally stab him in the head. Then I flick on redbubble to calm down and find your shot of this tranquil, hypnotic scene with this lovely tree. With the highlight at the top with a mild vignette and detail at the bottom the tree is still the focus, added to that the light texture and warmth. It’s just perfect. Now where was I…. Ah. The man in the brown suit is my friend, he is here to help….
