Softly They Sleep

I played around with this image in Ribbet, and kind of like the final result. I softened it and added a slight touch of sepia. I found a neat little poem to go along with it. I hope you enjoy.


Winter Trees
By William Carlos Williams 1883–1963 William Carlos Williams

All the complicated details
of the attiring and
the disattiring are completed!
A liquid moon
moves gently among
the long branches.
Thus having prepared their buds
against a sure winter
the wise trees
stand sleeping in the cold.
Love the processing and subject :) It looks like a vintage photo.

This reminds me of the American artists of the 1940's, like John Marin.Beautifully done.
