Tree Spirits + B&W

Oooh, I like this one Eva. What fascinating patterns; a wonderful abstract. In the large version, my only tiny nit would be to reduce the shadow sharpening just a tad. The dark grains of sand break the smooth flow slightly. Regardless, this one is very cool!

Very ghostly looking and I really like the intricate patterns here. It reminds me of a rendition of Marc's image "The tree god". The large version has lots of nice details.

Very nice abstract. Very well seen and photographed. It does look like some kind of bewitched forest.

Fantastic! What a wonderful find, and well done!

These are incredible. I hope you have tons more to share. Beautiful patterns and a nice pastel tone do make one think of fairy-folk. Great texture, too.

I really like these, Eva, though if I had to make a suggestion, it would be for a tighter comp, since some of the areas feel a little vacant. I really like what's happening more in the center of the frame.

Freakin awesome. Great shot Eva...try a b/w too. Bet that would be surreal.

A very artistic and graphic abstract, Eva! It looks like the imprint of fallen trees. I have
no suggestions for changes or ways to improve.

Eva, this is pure exquisite imagery. The design is amazing and I love the color as well. Stunning.

Fairy looking, almost painterly, I like staring at intricacicies of these "branches" . I also liked the tone , fits well with hte mood. Compositionally I would nit pick, either add "trunk" to the tree of crop righter to focus on the center - just a subjective suggestion.

Eva,

These patterns are just fantastic! I may have missed commenting on your previous one of these - and that one was just amazing btw.

The only suggestion I have - and this is purely about personal interpretation, would be some selective contrast in the left 1/3 or the LH tributaries.... Otherwise, these are just fascinating and I could see one having a field day here - and like you said, being very careful and selective where you walk...

Another beauty! Looks like an angry antelope god of sorts. The top looks a bit soft - not sure if your intention. Might be a good subject to focal blend if inclined. Since the top might be as important to the viewer as the bottom, sharpness there might help the overall image. I don't get sick of these abstracts, keep them coming!

Here is a B&W version but I think in this case I like the color version best. What do you all think?

Thanks for your comments.

Beautiful abstract, Eva! I always think you do best with these pattern based shots.
oh--color all the way!

THis is great.

Well Noticed ..and well composed Eva ...beautiful ..well done

Very nice Eva. I like your similar B&W shot that you postet a while back better, but this is still nice...

Just stunning Eva!!!! The colored version is my choice.

Love it, Eva! Reminds me of what Van Gogh might have done in pastel (my favorite over the B&W). This is a wonderful image!

Amazing photo Eva, and even more so that's it's a natural occurence!
Well seen and captured!

Very nice eye and capture. I wasn't sure what I was looking at at first but the patterns are beautiful. Really stimulates the imagination.

Excellent abstract Eva. It could be an aerial shot just as much as a close up. I like the tonality of the color version.

Your sand Tree sprites are very popular Eva. I like this one a lot the figure is quite menacing especially when you consider how gentle and benign the beach is.

Nice patterns in the sand!

Simply unbelievable Great work Eva!

Another excellent image with these patterns, Eva!

Awesome image!!! I can't pick between color and b&w. Different looks but both are excellent.

Another great shot Eva, these sand design shots are giving me some much needed inspiration.

Gary.

Excellent in all respects.

How did I miss this?
Simply exquisite -
I prefer the naturally-colored one -
