Paimpont 2018: Day 56 - The One Tree

I like taking photographs of trees - which is just as well considering that we are surrounded by 20,000 acres of them - but often what you see and what the camera sees are not the same thing. That being so, I was delighted with the warm response to yesterday's photo of light rays in the forest... thank you all and you inspired me to try another tree image today.

I was climbing this cleared slope and was struck by how this 'old-fellow' stood out among the spindly new growth.

It stands out even more viewed on black ;-))

Great capture of the tree's overall shape, trunk and branch details

[Walks @ 7]

Old trees have so much character, we should revere them, often. Fav!

[Taffy]

Such an elegant looking tree, like its dancing for you.

[Taisha]

There really is something about that tree isn’t there! Lovely! If you haven’t already done so, you should read “The Hidden Life of Trees”. To be surrounded by 20,000 acres is a dream.

oh it's like a magic tree, I would love to walk up have a good look at it!

[Margo Sayer]

Methinks this One Tree is an arboreal yoga guru.

[Ivan]

Nicely done...

[David]

This is another way of doing it I guess. Find one tree that stands out among the rest to give a clear focal point./plane. Very good.

[Francoise]

very expressive

[Helen Jane]

this tree really does stand out - and is most worthy of attention. Another great tree composition.
