CLAUSTROPHOBIA… My small contribution to Helen’s “natural abstract” theme. Hardly any postprocessing: just some contrast and brightness added + sharpened after resizing for TL. I opted for black & white, because I think B&W photography, as such, is a form of abstraction. Colour version in WS.
Thanks for your comments, critiques and suggestions.

CLAUSTROPHOBIE… Ma petite contribution au thème “natural abstract” lancé par Helen. Guère de post-traitement, si ce n’est un peu de contraste et de luminosité ajoutés, ainsi qu’un ajout de netteté après compression pour TL. J’ai choisi le noir et blanc, parce que je trouve que cette forme de photographie est en elle-même une sorte d’abstraction. Version couleur en WS.
Merci de vos commentaires, critiques et suggestions.

CLAUSTROFOBIE… Mijn kleine bijdrage tot het “natural abstract”-thema van Helen. Amper nabewerking, tenzij een kleine toevoeging van contrast en licht, alsook van wat scherpte na het resizen voor TL. Ik koos voor zwartwit, omdat zwartwitfotografie voor mij op zich al een vorm van abstractie is. Kleurenversie in WS.
Dank voor uw commentaar, kritiek en suggesties.

Good morning Eric

Intersting shot here with good use of light and shadow and a nice image of abstract lines and shades. I like the way you wrote the title to match in with the image and your framing is excellent. I am running a B/W theme in a few weeks time so do keep an eye out for that one.

TFS and for posting to the theme

Kind regards Helen

Very cool picture! I especially like the lighting - very unique and interesting.
Great details and crop.
TFS!

Hi Erik,

really good shot and very well suited to the theme. I reminds me of a horror film! Good lighting and DOF.

Cheers
Tom

interesting title and photograph. nice composition and POv

tfs!

Bonjour Erik,
Belle présentation pour le thème de Helen, Belle prise de vue avec ces magnifiques arbres, belle composition en Noir & Blanc j'aime bien et excellent contraste du noir & Blanc..Bonne journée.
Michel

Hoi Erik,
Geweldige foto, spreekt mij enorm aan, de horizontalen zijn schitterend, het licht in deze plaat is prachtig evenals het contrast!
Hans

Hi, Erik!

Excellent BW work, nice composition. I do not feel it claustrophobia the picture láttán, rather some kind of ethereal order, I believe the success of a system. The claustrophobia I then to feel possibly, if the trees would surround bending, quasi circle staining.

Ah-ha! A great take on the natural abstract theme...a very natural collection of lines and shapes, light and depth, all made a bit surreal with the change to b&w. Love the title:)

ik dacht eerst"geheimschrift"
tot ik die claustrophobue zag!
Men zou eigenlijk angstkrijgen om erdoor te gaan!

Hi Erik

Haha see what you mean..... all I can say is Great minds think alike.....

and of course I love it

cheers from Liverpool 08

Dag Sven,
mijn blik zoekt naar een weg door het bos maar wordt gevangen gehouden door de vertikalen. Toch vindt hij ook een schuin streepje zon.
Zeer mooi belicht en het zwart wit doet het.
Leuk weekeinde toegewenst,
Geert

Wow - a very effective shot Erik! The black and white treatment realy underlines your title choice. Well composed with the thickest, dominant trunk in the left 1/3rd of the frame.

Good work!
Rew

Bonjour Erik
Idée originale pour contribuer au thème de la semaine. J'aime bien le titre qui aurait aussi pû être " promiscuité".
Belle texture naturelle des écorces et bon controle de la lumière. La version couleur est également très jolie mais ne rend pas le même atmosphère.
Bravo
Serge

Dit is een geslaagde foto van een aartsmoeilijk onderwerp!

Bonjour Erik !

Une image toute simple , mais si joliment présentée et titrée. J'adore. Excellente observation ! Le format carré est très adéquat pour celle-ci, renforçant davantage la grandeur des arbres et l'impression de claustrophobie.

Bravo cher ami !
Robert

Hello Erik,an interesting idea with your title of claustrophobia.The b/w treatment is very effective here.
I like the different tones created by the light and shadow.
Good cropping.
Tfs, regards Jean.

Hello Erik!
Next great trees shot! I must say that after little while I can see that you developed your photographers hand! all new pictures are amaizing!
this one, very natural in colours, little bit blured with good chosen perspective which adds to those trees something spooky and lively... BUT! I must say that i realy dislike that ordinary gray frame... i think it takes form that picture everything what it builds by itself ( i hope you understand me). maybe black frame would be better, or if that frame would be much thiner.. i don`t know.
but picture itself is great, i think that you are a very tree person, you can feel the mood of them! you prooved that in previous pictures! My humble oppinion it is :o)

My best regards
Maya

i hear symphony of forest trees of stories
harmony of time and seasons
no cloustrophobic feelings -
these things- oh, flys away

no music and no pixels
just sounds just views
just being ..

You've done a very good job of using monochrome with this subject. I'm still learning how to do this. I like the different tones that it involves, the shady and the dappled light.
