[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
An old photo, taken with my old camera (2 megapixel, and not nearly as good quality as my new one).

This is a kiaat tree (Pterocarpus angolensis), which is slow growing, and often forms very twisted shapes.

Post processing: resized, adjusted brightness/contrast, levels, increased saturation slightly, sharpened, framed.

Great work Kate, I love it! Looks like a massive tree striding over me.
Into the favourites it goes.
Thanks for sharing.
Michael.

Hi Kate,
very nice observation. I like the strong contrast on this photo. Btw., for me it looks like a dancer taken from the floor level while passing over the camera lenses. Really good one! tfs

Very impressive shot and POV. The contrat suits this dynamic image giving extra impact, bravo!

Hi Kate.

I like the POV and the shape the trunk and branches form against the blue of the sky with the green of the leaves. Very well composed.

TFS,Aqueous.

A very impressive image, with very good effect. Really great.

Hi Kate,
Wonderful shot; I like your framing.

Well composed and framed. Great POV. Nice play of light. The light and gentle leaves of the tree soften the harsh line of the big branch. The odd shape of the branch and its ramifications create an alien look. Well seen and well done.
