Trees in winter
by Melethia

Comment by blindjustice:
I absolutely love the shot and think it's one of your best. There is such a great tonal quality between the Green/Brown grass and the faded blue sky. The trees have no branches and reach up to the sky like arms and hands in a dance pose or perhaps in a morning yoga pose. There is a starkness and yet such Rich fullness. Perhaps a bit more cooperation from the sky and clouds would create a better background for the trees but still this is tremendous and deserves high praise.

I like the distortions and overall look of this pic. For us beginners can you explain how you did it, please?

Great shot Deb. Great lines, great perspective and the colors are just really really nice. You have been putting out some real nice work lately and this is surely one of them. A great feel overall and a well deserved placement and score. Well done!

I didnt much care for this one Deb. Reading your description I can see that you put thought and time into the setup but at first look it just seemed tossed toegther real quick and a shot taken. The colors didnt jump out and just seem a bit blah (I will look again when I get home as I am on my moms monitor and hers is pretty dark). Looking at the color tweaks I think you may have done better with one of those. The variations even in thumbnail had strong interest to me and the quad view makes for a great picture.

I havent commented on your original entry - but I like this. The color variations are fun and the four shots together create an image that is much stronger than your entry alone. Cool work Deb!

I like the sun and shade on road...good lights and colors. I would added more space at back of pidgeon because of his movement.

great colours and movement, but I am not sure about the way it meets the challenge without your title...I'll give you the benefit of the doubt
