Ok, the idea for a portrait a week was not a good one. I am changing my theme to be more open and include anything that strikes my fancy.

Week #3

Excellent use of the shadows, they look like claws ready to engulf the other tree. I bet this would look great in B&W.

Very cool shot, looks like the shadows are trying to eat the trees...

The shadows are reaching for the other trees - very cool! The blue sky is very pretty too.

Very engaging image!

The shadow are extending as if reaching to grasp those two trees. Very well spotted and composed.

You know in B&W this would have looked quite sinister!

A really stunning image. I love those shadows - your title is so apt. The other trees being set cleanly against the sky is great.

Fantastic. What a unique tree 'portrait'! Also particularly like the way you've saturated the blue to hyperreal level. Nicely done. But a little airy on the theme there! I think you should call it, 'Surprise of the week' :)

what a vivid eye you have
a very forboding image nicely portrayed

There's an Ent behind you!
Heh.

Nice composition/wholeness.

ETA - I'd probably try to rotate the trunk of the standing tree on the right to more apparently vertical :)

I like this one. It has a menacing, ominous feel to it as the shadows reach out to wards the two trees in the distance.

Good use of lines in the landscape to draw the eye in!
