About	The roots of a strangler fig engulfing it's host and slowly suffocating it. The host (any other tree) is used for stabilising the young seedling and in the process totally suffocated after several years. Original slide slightly cropped, sepia tone added in PS plus a bit of grain.

So pleased to have discovered your amazing work. This is captivating. The title, textures, lighting and colours so striking. Makes the suffocation almost holy!

Deb Mayes {K:19605} 5/1/2005

Marvelous textures and tones, Joggie. An amazing composition - good eye!

Nature can be nasty in its wonder can't it? Your manipulations have given this that textured feel, the sepia tone and the light go well together!

Excellent work with a great abstract character....the tree?s almost "dancing".....

Maybe it's just my dirty little mind, but this looks very sensual to me. I like it.

Ian McIntosh {K:42997} 4/23/2005

So well done! And a real process in the first place? excellent. Finger nails even!
