Hi Tony

Another wonderful place you share with us all, beautifully composed with a very nice pallette of colours.
I really like the Tree with its really unusual trunk.
I could really see myself enjoying some chill out time sitting by this tree.

Hello Tony,

What a fabulous tree! It's the king of gnarls and knobbles! No wonder you gave it such prominence! The eyes have to follow the curved lines of its bark to reach the rest of the shot! The light playing on the trunk defines all its contours!

Superb colours and a great seascape in the b/g.

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

I shall read notes from others later but for now have added it to my them of tree bark. the patterns are excitingly creative in nature, but that's the name of the game...Very well seen Tony. I noticed you have been away a bit.....very good for return!

Hello Tony,
A superb capture of a gnarled old tree on the shore of a calm bay. The composition and (morning?) lighting are fantastic and the old tree trunk and sea view contrast each other wonderfully.
As I like this very much I have taken it into my favorites and I thank you for that!
Best wishes,
Ivan

Hi Good friend Tony,
Another outstanding landscape shot with such superb colours and details. The bright morning light gives the subjects a pleasant glow and I like the interesting shape of that tree trunk. The calm blue waters look fabulous. Excellent POV to portray this charming scenery and very nicely composed. Kudos.

HI TOny ,
this must be like you turned the corner around the tree and suddenly discovered this whole vista infront of you...wonderful cpature bringing contrast between the far and near ..the far with the sea and the horizon and the near with the gnarled tree trunk to the left.The brown soil around the base of the tree, the beach sand, the blue waters, the light blue sky and the green o trees, so so many elements to watch out in this brilliant composition.Very well done.'
TFS & Cheers

Interesante trabajo con un acertado ángulo de disparo que abre el camino a un azul que contrasta con el resto de manera preciosa. Has sabido jugar muy bien con las formas y el espacio, que combinados con los colores, crean un bello conjunto. Todos vemos igual las cosas, pero algunos como tú, saben darles una dimensión especial.
Excelente trabajo: J. Ignasi.

Hello Tony,
I always like the way you frame your pictures with trees/ or part of it in the foreground. (aside:Taking inspiration from you i tried to frame a picture like this and the result was horrible.:()
Glorious morning light, beautiful colours and an excellent POV that shows off the intricate designs created by nature and time on the tree trunk.
Thanks for the share,
Regards,
Smitha.
