A rather literal interpretation of this challenge. I do like literal once in awhile. :-)
I am not sure what these trees are but they are very interesting. VERY tall, with strong tall trunks, then this mass of branches topped with a crown of thick leaves. I shall have to find out what they are. Santa Barbara has more than its fair share of interesting trees.
Hopefully not to terribly disorienting - I'm standing under the main tree looking up. The other is one of its neighbors down the road.
Nice detail and tones/contrast... While it's a "rather literal interpretation" it's not conventional. No surprise there though... one of the reasons we love you so. I find this image a bit unbalanced, personally... it feels top heavy and makes me feel like I've had too much to drink and laying on the grass in the park waiting for the world to stop spinning. :)
Wonderful shot! I'm still trying to figure out how and when the sunbursts happen. When I try to get them, they don't happen, when I least expect it, there it is! It really enhances and already interesting shot!
This is pretty dang cool Deb. Love how you were able to really bring out the textures in the trunk, and better than that, how the sunspot seems to be mirrored by the branches throughout the scene. Well seen and delivered.
W-O-W! That is so interesting! What a fabulous perspective, and I am crazy about the perfectly shaped and exposed sun burst! The only thing I don't like about this is the 6.0 score. It should be on the front page!
