Rainbow Row

Nice catch sir :) Looks a bit too blue and blacks/shadows a bit too open but the framing is there. Glad we found it :)

Wow, those are aptly named. The trunks looks surreal to someone who hasn't seen them before (me ), so I really like the grounding the added vegetation adds.

Very cool, I love those trees! Perfect angle of view and the protruding greenery adds another element of interest to the image.

Wow. Definitely a feast for the eyes.

This is delightful. I've never seen these trees in this format. Very well done!

Thanks, guys.

Aaron, the blueness is on purpose. I messed with temp and saturation a bunch, and this was what looked best to me.

Sweet!
I like the blue...it's very cheerful!
We need a blue smiley...

Great abstract and eye candy here.

This is way cool, with all of the splotches of color in the tree bark. The branches and flowers in the lower half work well. I think it might also work as an interesting abstract if you could have gotten a look with only the tree trunks.

Kory, this is a fascinating view. I needed to read your description to determine what the streaked columns were. It turned out to be interesting and pleasing.

Color looks off to me. Love the comp

I really enjoy the colors here Corey and an excellent comp and processing. Really like the abstract feel to this. Great job.

Love it Kory! The depth created by the bushes between the trees adds a lot for me. No need to push the blacks as Aaron suggested IMO - I like it bright.

I would change your tour description though to focus on you and Aaron, rather than making it be about someone else

Wow, very unique shot. I like the abstract nature of this, it works well with the rainbow of colors. My only nit is that it is slightly over-saturated for my taste.

This is outstanding Kory! I like your comp here and how it looks like a wall of Rainbow Eucalyptus. Colors look great. I bet this would look amazing has a huge print!

Kory,
Very impressive. It is pretty saturated and I do wonder how these trees look in reality, but in either case I really like it. I do wonder what it would like if the blues (assuming they are from shadows) would look if darker, almost black. The green bushes add a lot to the composition and feel in my opinion.
Very well done!

Question, where on the Big Island are these trees? I've spent a lot of time on the island so I am pretty familiar with it. (I used to live in Hawaii and worked at the observatories on Mauna Kea).

Thanks, Roger. If you Google Rainbow Eucalyptus, you'll find hundreds of other pics which will show you what they look like. As for the location of these particular trees, join us on our photography tour and you'll find out!
