I'm pretty sure it was said already... Anyway I love how you used the trees in the front as a "frame" for the tree that's far away. Also nice light, composition and colors. Kudos

DOF is great with my old 15mm fisheye, and it seems that you have universal focus at f16 and 12mm with this lens. Great choice of subject and POV make this a fine shot. I like that you left it color, so that the different elements stand out from each other. It just looks very natural, and not over processed.

Wow! We may not agree on the origin of the species but we can agree that this shot is awesome. Great job!

wow the shot is amazing...and at just the right angel with great colors and lighting

Gorgeous! I really like how the front tree is not silhouetted. I am guessing that is the dodging part? Great exposure on this, and great natural framing. The simplicity is appealing.

I love this shot! At first viewing, I immediately thought "Alice in Wonderland" - not because it reminded of it exactly but more because you have managed to take something really mundane (a tree!) and turn it into an almost mystical image. Awesome job!

Congrats Dan - this was one of my top favorites in the challenge. It's an incredible shot, very inspiring.

what a fantastic shot, but moreover, what a fantastic imagination you have - and you have brought that to life beautifully in this photograph! congrats on a ribbon and front page!

Great shot! I didn't have a chance to go through all the pictures during voting and missed yours. Very interesting perspective and nice use of deep depth of field. Congradulations on your ribbon.

Well thought out and executed. Congratulations on you ribbon.

Very nice work, love how you framed your subject. I predict a ribbon ...

I love the use of frame within a frame in this shot. Great sky color. Photoshop or was it a polarizer? 9

Wonderful. Reminds me of a Henry More sculpture.

I like your idea and the effectiveness of the DOF here. I think the framing of the shot where the tree trunk dominates the composition is a little overwhelming. IMHO the shot would have been equally effective even if not so much trunk was visible.
Post actions
very nice tone.. i love the feel on this one.. :D
Post actions
Really love this one. Well done. :)
Post actions
very good shot... it is deep :)
Post actions
Great shot, very well composed, very painterly. Did you use the shadow/highlight filter? Or manually lighten up the foreground? I notice a bit of "glow" between the sky and tree trunk upper left. Still great shot
Post actions
