What amazing smooth white bark against that sky.
Best wishes,

Andrew,What amazing smooth white bark against that sky.
These are very pleasant trees in every respect bar one - they shed large limbs without warning. It's a habit they share with other eucalypts.
Thus, they tend to be better in parks, and not around houses.

The second one works very well I think, as the focus on the darker bits around the lump draws the eye in to that gnarly lump. The softer focus further up the tree looks very nice against the sky, and empasises the shape of the tree.
The first one unfortunately has a bit much shadow around the most intersting bit and the white looks a little blown out in places?
The last one is a bit difficult to tell if it's rock, tree or something else, and it doesn't really do much for me as purely an abstract.
The sky is amazing in both the first two shots, and contrasts very nicely with the white of the tree.

Thanks A-G - on reflection that focus would have been better on the coloured stump part, in the 1st.
I will have a think about the abstract one - I want that to be better than what it is. The more I look at it now, the less I like it...
Thanks for looking.

#1 like the tree limbs reaching for the big blue sky...

Lovely colours, and good control of the highlights in the trunk. I think in number 1 there is too much OOF foreground, and like you say it's a pity that the stump isn't in focus. I like number 2!
Looking at number 3 I'm struck by the little holes in the trunk and thinking about the fortnightly comp. Surely there is a face hiding in this tree somewhere?

Indeed there is (to my eye anyway Tim) - top RH corner of the shadow area.
