A past spring in Rachel Carson Conservation Park, MD. There was a breeze.

Also, thanks to NPN for the Editor's Pick! And thanks to all who have commented on my photos. Finally, I would like to make special note of Tony Kuypers Actions. The Resize and Sharpening for Web seems to give my photos a nice presence and depth they lack without it. Thank you, Tony.

Canon T2i, 1/60 s, f/13, ISO 1600, EF 24-105mm f/4 @ 105 mm, CPL.
Raw file processed in LRClassicCC. TK resize/sharpening for web.

Seeking any and all advice and comments. Thanks in advance.

Please view the large image!

Fantastic abstract Ronald. Contrast is spot on.

This, also, is on the chaotic side without enough structure or order. If the background trees were consistently vertical from left to right perhaps it would provide a framework. These types of compositions are often difficult to pull off.

Feel like this is a image that needs to be printed 40x50. :)

I love this sort of find. Making something out of very little save for the base elements of light, tone shade and colour.

Your welcome, Ronald. This looks wonderful. I really like the abstract quality of the image but also the sense of reality present here. The detail and textures come through very nicely.

The way the myriad of leaves pop out makes for a terrific effect. Great job composing those branches as well.

Beautifully done Ronald. This image offers both an abstract and realistic take on nature. The contrast between the bright leaves and the dark trunks is outstanding.

I think you managed this beautifully, Ronald.The leaf/buds are wonderfully balanced throughout the composition with enough dark vertical trunks in the background to hold it all together and provide a sense of deep woods.

Outstanding, Ronald. Almost like an amazing star filled sky. I think I would crop the dark trunk on the left, it would give the image the space it needs.

You have been nailing it with these abstracts. This is gorgeous. No suggestions here, just enjoying it.
