Tree, Field and Puddle

Thanks to all who tried to guess yesterday's object. It is obviously a gas burner, but it is used
by my brother-in-law to keep warm the chicks he raises from one day old to 'point of lay' when
he sells them to Free Range egg producers. Must try and get some 'chick' pictures later
in the week.

I'm trying to develop a technique to give my tree pictures more impact. I'm starting
to see trees not as soft, dreamy subjects but as quite funky objects with attitude.
Ooops - that does sound arty-farty doesn't it! But I'm playing with curves and higher saturation.

The jumbo-sized puddle was irresistable here!

A very strong image -particularly like the high tones, reflection and perspective. Vote

Most creative and well done! V

This is one of those shots where you could get 12 people to photograph the scene and they'd all do it differently - or even one John Waine on 12 days! I like the saturation here and the angle is indeed quite funky!

Artsy fartsy is a good thing,John!
Yes,these trees have attitude. Love them!!

Be carefull that you don't take too much of the falling down water.
That being said, I think you have started on your journey of tree rediscovery..
I like the comnposition angle and the processing
