Challenge:Trees II (Advanced Editing VII*) Camera:Nikon D60 Location: New Jersey Date: Apr 22, 2009 Aperture: F 5.6 ISO: 100 Shutter: 1/125 S Date Uploaded: Apr 26, 2009
This is a tree in my front lawn along with the remnants of my childhood "tree house". It was nothing more than a few planks of wood nailed to the tree with a plywood seat. The seat has long since rotted away, and it once sat between the two highest (relatively) parallel pieces of wood.
I accidentally got carried away with the saturation...but then realized that it gave the image a sort of unexpected 3D pop!

The wood battens make it look like the trees are embracing. The unusual coloration of this does not work for me, though. I do recognize some effort to do something a little different, however.
Coming back to comment - I've always thought a tree house would be cool to have. The blues and greens in this photo have a realistic color to them, but the tree has a purple tint to it.
I like the sky, the leafs and the idea of your shot. I just think it's kind of small and this effect is ugly to me. The sunlight looks really distracting too. Sorry if i was rude. Good luck.
