Silhouetted at Dawn — TreeSquare

·

Hi, allMy entry for Becky’s July TreeSquare. This is also my entry for Tina’s Lens-Artists Challenge #154 — One Photo Two Ways, July Processing Challenge by the Squirrel Chase, & Cee’s Black & White Challenge: Trees or Tree Parts.

…and the original; I think I prefer this to the square crop

But I’m not finished; I edited through a monochrome filter for Cee’s Black & White Challenge, then tried desaturating it for a colder feel as the original has a lot of warmth to it, owing to the depth of colour (it was about -1? after all) & finally trying a dramatic cool filter.

    There is something very calming about sunsets/rises and the inclusion of trees. Wonderful.

    I love the original, but the square version has the edge for me. It could be that the tree is now the focus of the image and I love scraggly trees in silhouette.

    All great. Photos are more successful when the feature is Off Centre,so says my wife.

    It’s such a serene image. The different treatments give it different moods.

    Lovely landscape Jez – was the opening image the original? Funny to see a bare tree as it’s so lush and green here right now. You must post an image of the tree when all of the foliage comes in!

      Thanks, TinaYes, the featured image was the original. The shot was taken in January, hence the lack of foliage; I’ll need to get back up there again soon.
