Tree

Terrific, the tree has a flesh like quality to it and the tone lends an ominous air to it.

Wow, what a truly organic looking image. It almost looks alive!

Why 5.6- 1/30s ? No tripod?

I think this tree is well worth f-64 or more ....

Thanks guys, yes no tripod. In fact I had to ask permission as its in a school playground no photography allowed normally. I may go back and do it justice as I just snapped it while picking my daughter up from school...

Thanks I'm going to go back and shoot with a tripod and slower film.
It is a fascinating tree on the north side there is a root that on one side has a lump of iron the other stone (flint) that the roots are growing over.
I haven't done it justice yet here is a link to the hurried shot:

Truly an amazing tree, and one 5 mins walk from my home, I'm getting to know the school caretaker, possibly he'll let me shoot it at a week-end, sans children!

Wonderfully rich tones and textures.

All the best,

The thumbnail doesn't look like much until you see the full screen. Excellent work. I bet the print looks superb.

Elephant's foot! Great.
