I don't know if she's embracing, berating, or leading in song. I love it! Sure put a smile on my my face!

Love the anthropomorphism here. i WOULD TRY TO ELIMINATE SOME OF THE CYAN CAST ON SOME OF THE TRUNKS.

Good photography!

Joe.

God I hate it when people use words I can't spell/pronounce/explain. Thanks for nothin', Joe!

Doug, I love your title for this. It must've come to you the moment you saw this scene. This image has a stark beauty.

Hi Doug,

Cool image. I agree with Joe about the cyan cast and the anther...anthor...er... what he said! The cyan is especially prominent in the upper right.

Cheers,

Without your title I'm not sure I would have seen this. Fun to look at.

An eye-catching image Doug. I like the colors as-is, they have an unusual, fascinating look.

This works well for me - I think because it can be seen and interpreted in many ways - from a simple study of trees, to the suggestion of anthropomorphism, to an abstract with pleasing and nicely balanced colours.

Great image Doug, well seen. Nice job framing this with the f/g, without making the busy b/g too prominent.
