whatever left me in this world

Comment by ubique:
A lovely, heroic vision. Something in the nature of a Revelation, in fact. There's a shadow of a corporeal form, and a column of some transcendent vitality being liberated from its core. The classical admixture of God and mortal man, reality and myth. It's a quite beautiful vision, and repays with interest every moment spent in its contemplation.

A worthy ultimate recipient of the Order of the Thumb:

I like bokeh and closeups so I liked this one, of course. I love that the emphasis has been placed on the new leaves getting ready for spring and summer.

Comment by Teafran:
The drama inherent in the subject does not translate well when compared to the rather blank and uninteresting sky. The author's intent here is clear and with a more effective crop at the top of the image, the artistic impact would have been significant. An experiment the author may wish to attempt would be to layer a more dramatic sky into this image and lighten some of the darker areas using the histogram as the guide and the curves control to lighten some of the darker areas.

This is very different, background a little distracting...

A surprise (to me) that this was not rated more highly. I think it's an underrated treasure.
