This was taken at a point in Paimpont Forest known as Trois Roches after the three large boulders to be found there. They are some 10 or 15 metres apart and, these days, surrounded with trees and undergrowth so that it is impossible to photograph them together... so today I offer you Une Roche!
This is for my PLAY project - you can read more about it in my profile - where I'll be using a different prime lens for each month of the year: for April it's the Fujinon 27mm f/2.8 on an APS-C sensor camera (today the Fuji X-T10) - the equivalent of a 40mm lens on a full-frame camera.
The tree is terrific, cutting a dramatic figure with its curvy branches. I like the clouds and the overall tones. Curious -- did you purposely want the partial tree on the left as part of a border? I was wondering why not cropped out otherwise -- or you'd lose part of the end of the tree branches?
@taffy You're right that it's a distraction but cropping it out left the rock hard up against the edge of the frame which I didn't like either... Mr Photoshop and I have revisited the edit!
@taffy Thankyou - I loaded the edited version as a new layer in Picmonkey and left the blending mode as Normal so that the edit effectively covered the original image.
@vignouse Mmmmm....I didn't know you could do that. Is this something easy to explain (layering in picmonkey) or is this something that you found a video/tutorial to do? If the latter, could you share? @pamknowler is also curious about how this would work.
@taffy@pamknowler No tutorials that I know of - open your image in Picmonkey, click on the butterfly in the menu on the left and then chose your own image using the box at the top of the new menu stack that opens..
... et l'arbre. Something so satisfactory about this... trying and failing to put my finger on it. Perfect balance maybe? The contrast between the living and the not living? The many tree branch echoes? Such a pleasing composition, anyway. Fav
@pamknowler is also curious about how this would work.
