Killarney Birch Stand

Gallery: FloraPosted October 26, 201068 views8 comments

I was really excited to come across this stand of birch in the middle of all this colour! I was happy to learn that I had sold a print of this one as soon as it hit my blog! It isn't even titled or cataloged yet! I do regret not using a faster shutter speed (a few leaves are a little blured), but I am still happy with the shot. As usual, any comments or critiques are very welcome.

Please view LARGE file, compression was very limiting in the small version.

Wayne,

Congratulations. What really makes this image in my opinion is that you found a stand of Birch that are leaning in opposing directions, rather than the typical all of the trees are perpendicular to the ground and parallel to each other.

Well done.

Carol

I love the difference between the foliage and the tree trunks. This is beautiful.

What a beauty Wayne. I love those silver verticals. Colors, details and textures aren't bad either. Superb...

Hey Wayne, I can see why this would sell quickly. Great image! The vertical trunks backed up by all that colorful foliage; good stuff.

This is wonderful Wayne. I can see why someone would want to buy a print. The colors are great and the white on the birches is spot on. I don't really see any blurred leaves per se...very minor IMO.

The large file is stunning, Wayne

. So much of detail on the Birch trunk is visible there and all that is beautifully set of by the nice autumn colors.

Another way to enjoy this photo is to purely look at the graphical elements (mostly verticals). That looks nice too.

Beautiful work

Wayne: Looks great to me. Comps like this are challenging and you met the challenge exceptionally well. Congrats on the sale and a fine image.>=))>
