Reaching Out

Another from Stradbroke Is yesterday. I just liked the way this tree was formed and thought it would suit B&W.

Comments welcome.

Nice. Reminds me of being in the Florida Keys a little.

Beautiful picture Dave. The contrast and clouds are what make it for me.

Thanks Paul. Yes that's what I was trying to bring out in the shot.

Good subject, Dave, and well processed. The leaves against the clouds gives the scene a marvelous sense of depth to the image.

Thank you Greg.

I see a figure bending the leaves and branches down to worship nature...but then I am an odd man out here...I see gracefulness amongst the surroundings. Very very nice...one of these days I'd like to go into B/W like you did here. Excellent conversion for an excellent shot...

A cracker indeed, well done Dave!

Thanks Izzie and Kay, glad you liked it. B&W can be fun

I think I'm starting to "see" B&W potential when I take the shot (or maybe I'm just kidding myself !)

Very nice shot As the clouds are a bit distracting I would crop the image from top .

That's a lovely conversion Dave and a very nice comp. You've managed the highlights in the clouds well. Not easy in the conditions.
