Solitude

Comment by Joey Lawrence:
very moody and cool. I like the long shadows, it must have been later in the day, or very early. It would be cool to add a gradient of tone to the sky with a burn tool, just to give it more interest.

Lots of Pipes

Comment by Joey Lawrence:
Over-manipulated is good, because...

"If the doors of perception were cleansed everything would appear to man as it is, infinite."

Meaning once you take those 'filter's off you're eyes, things are more interesting. I guess LSD or peyote could help too...

I dig the photo though, it looks like a place I would be. It has a good composition for such complexity and it makes me wonder what this place is for.

I agree with eschelar... the picture is really gorgeous and should have been ranked MUCH higher. Should you be so inclined, I bet it will sell.

I saw this pic on the page just as I had to go to work and stop voting. I wish I had taken the time to give it just one more 9 or 10.

This picture is REALLY gorgeous.

I totally disagree with all the people who can't read titles or think for more than a few seconds to get the connection with branch. The main subject of the picture is definitely related to a branch. The title brings it together.

I definitely think there could be just a hair more contrast and I think there is a bit of noise or something on the right. Maybe it's just my LCD screen, but the pic looks better as I drop the brightnest and increase the contrast.

I think it is noteworthy that you got more tens than you got nines and you only got 10 less 10's than the winning photo.

Please keep works like this coming.

Beautiful shot in another challenge, but I don't think it will score well in this one
