Bamboo Forest

I liked the patterns of the tree bark against the green of the bamboo.

[Marilyn Wigen]

Me, too! And I love how the large tree in front sort of anchors the shot.

[Darlene]

What a beautiful photo, Katy. I love the bark on trees like this and you are right, the bamboo really adds to this photo.

beautiful shot, nice composition, textures and DOF....but where is the Panda Bear..?

[karenann]

Gorgeous pov ....love all of those textures too! I think that you took this at the perfect time, because the lighting is awesome!!

[katy]

@marilyn Thanks, sissy! I originally wanted the tree only but couldn't make it work so went with the wider shot!

[katy]

@darsphotos I really appreciate that,Darlene! thanks!

[katy]

@maggotx Thanks a bunch, Mag! LOL Funny because my husband mentioned the Pandas when we went in!

[katy]

@karenann Wow! Karenann I really appreciate that!

[Smitha]

Love the texture, composition and DOF in this picture. Where was this? Def. missing the panda in the picture. :) perfect!!

[Ruth Moucharafieh]

Nice contrast here Katy! Composition spot on and lighting too!

[Rick Schies]

[Peter de Graaff]

In interesting juxtaposition and looks peaceful

[Myrna O'Hara]

where is the panda bear.

[katy]

@sailingmusic LOL! In China?

[Steve Hankins]

That's a big pine tree...Old South meets Old World? The lighting is very even in this picture. Hard to do that around bamboo, good job.

[Clare Figgins]

yes i like the texture of bark too!

[Jennifer Wearing]

I see what @hankinsphoto was thinking of. How bizarre to have such a mix together - perplexing!

[Anna]

great bamboo!:)

[bruni]

Great color and texture..young bamboo against the old tree. great composition and lighting.

[katy]

@hankinsphoto Thanks you so very much,Steve!

[katy]

@clarefigo I'm glad Clare! Thanks.

[katy]

@jennwearing I guess that is why I shot it! Thanks,Jennifer!

[katy]

@nyusha I appreciate it, Anna

[katy]

@bruni So kind of you to say,Bruni! Thanks!

[Sybil Freeman]

Just love the textures here.... I love bamboo..... I have always liked bamboo but here it is hard to get rid of....

[katy]

@photos222 Thanks and it sure is! This is mostly contained in a park so not a nuisance!
