This is very well centered and I love the OLD look to it. Once again, your detail is extremely sharp. I really like your new lens. If I were you, I would thank my husband everyday for that wonderful gift.

You know, if the background was all black, this would be fantastic.

edit: btw, I gave this a 6. It seems I give all of your shots a 6 or higher without knowing who it belongs to.

Congratulations! Isn't he gorgeous? Great texture on his comb. I love how you made it work with the title, excellent sense of humor. Had I voted, this would have been a 9 or 10, definitely.

I was out shooting today, and took some nature shots with no focal point. And I was thinking about all the comments I would get about that if I posted them on DPC. I was wondering why that is so important for a good image. I decided it isn't important for a good image, but probably is for a great one.

I like this shot. I love the pattern created by the trees, and I really like the soft greens. The branches seem to be wrapped in a giant group hug. It's the sort of image that I can spend a lot of time with. It is relaxing, uplifting, and allows me lots of room to think for myself. I think it would be very nice in a giant size on a large wall.

Doesn't move me much, but as always, the question is: do YOU like it? :)

I tend to prefer sweeping vistas, which in the case of a forest at least includes the bottoms and tops of some trees. Without that context, I see a bunch of vertical lines but no overall theme. I guess that puts me in the group skewsme mentioned.

You have to have the right kind of eye and personal history to appreciate this for the really good picture that it is.

But a lot of it is the aesthetic value of the forest itself and how beautiful and rare they are for most people.

Having lived in the woods my whole half-century of life, I love this piney-woods.....to a city dweller, it's just trees.
