Oh, I like this one. It looks like looking up through the branches to the sky but also like looking down at leaves in water. Pretty.

Nice shot, very nice.
i do have a question were you standing under or lying under the branches as it looks very close up. Even imagined you on a ladder to get this one.

Well either way i do like very much. :D :-D :brnbear: :awen:

um.... if i remember rightly -and bearing in mind that this was during a camping trip with some pagan friends in a pagan ownded woods where there was a lot of drinking - i THINK it was from underneath. there is a tree that has literally snapped in half and has falled to create a doorway, some of the branches are low down and so you can get right up close.

i think i might enter a picture of that tree too....

Cool picture, lee. Love the black and white. Everyone always thinks "green" with trees. Green is good, of course, but black and white shows the contrast so well. You have a great eye.

I think it's a stroke of genius that you took this in black and white! Are you a professional photographer? (WOW!)
Pay attention to the path, and learn the hard way.  The easy way is fun and entertaining, but you take away very little.

When I dabbed i photography, I use to do back and white also. Color is wonderful, but the contrast of black and white really captures the
spirit of the subject. :raven:

thanks :) nope im not a photographer, im a paleontologist :)

i always prefer black and white pictures, perhaps its because it allows the picture to say more when the colours are stopped from talking.

besides, i always look more handsome in black and white :)
