Hi Mark, Thanks for your comment...and yes it was my aim to bring out the tree bark texture. I will experiment your suggestion re softness and let you know. Regards, Mireille
I love these curves, almost creating an impression of flowing water. Very beautiful. I will comment that the contrast and sharpening in CS2 have brought out the texture of the tree bark very powerfully, and while this may have been your goal, I think that this image coiuld also work well with a softer contrast to bring out the sense of flowing I mentioned above. Though maybe not, experimentation with the image would be needed. Nice work.
I love the contrast you got in CS2. I wish the shot was a little bit more in focus, but I still like it. I especially like the contrast in the roots the most. You have a great eye. Michael
Excellent subject and composition - but I usually prefer such detailed images sharp. If you stand back, the eye tends to assume sharpness and does not accept the blurriness.
