Wish i had this one in my collection,!! really nice Image.
I like the blue background too, I could be tempted to crop the picture slightly thinner, to remove the gaps in the bark, at the top and bottom, will make for a stronger image and make it look more like a solid tree.

A very nice classic TC shot. Perhaps a blue tinge? But that might be the influence of the excellent BG.

A fine shot . Agree about the slice off the left.

A very nice Treecreeper image, made all the more interesting thanks to the weathered wood and colourful backdrop. :toast:

Very nice Philip, I would be tempted to slice a bit of the left

Nice straight uncluttered image, like Rene says I would be tempted to crop from the left to get rid of the blue at the bottom left.

Best TC image I've seen in ages Phil - really like it a lot :wavey: :wavey:

I can see where Rene and Tom are coming from as it's a suggestion I'd usually make myself, but for some reason I seem to like the shot as is; perhaps the sky showing on the left makes the tree limb appear less "visually weighty" and so gives more "weight" to the TC - I dunno to be honest...

Top capture Phil :wavey: :wavey: :wavey: :toast: :toast: :toast:

Super Tree Creeper shot, I cant make my mind up re the trunk on the left. Its one of those shots where you need to come back and look a few times to decide.

Nice shot. I would also slice a bit off the left.
