No flash, but plenty of dodging and burning. Glad you like it.

Love your thought process. Hope you don't mind, but if you enjoy looking at other works, I thought you might like to see this image.

The wavy branches have a definite spooky or fairy-tale feel to them. I don't know if you accomplished this by heavy burning or selective lighting, but the end result is pretty cool.

Interesting find. Though direct flash really does it no justice as does the straight on view. I would have liked a more creative perspective or camera angle to these trees. Also if possible off-camera lighting. Though I know that is not always an option.

Wow, lots of strange things in this Free Study. This is one of them. Well captured.

OK, I'm going through the Free Study submissions, purposefully finding those images I think are shot with a less conventional eye - this is one of those images! Thanks for offering something that isn't just DPC friendly eye-candy (though of course there's nothing wrong with eye-candy). I'll be picking one of these images for the Mu (most underrated) award:

Positives: I like the way this is more about shape and 'flow' than it is about the subjects themselves. The light is also effective and somewhat suggestive of care headlights - the feel you get when driving deserted roads at night. I like the coloration too - the near monochrome works very well.

Critical stuff: Somehow I wish it was a little softer to emphasise the flowing shape, a long exposure in the wind may have offered such an effect but then of course it would be a different image. I suppose I mean that the degree of sharpness you have offered here offers a little too much for the mood I get from the image.

Overall: An intriguing and effective image.

Spooky! Painted with light, I assume. I love how they bend! 10
