Great colors and the angle! Were you standing on some stairs or dangling from a tree? LOVE it!

@6ft5: Thank you! I am dangling from a tree (of course)...no need to change what works for me... ;-)

Nice one. May be there was no need for so much PS? I would have liked to see the original one. I bet it was beautiful
15 Apr 2009 7:15am
@xavier cardell: Thank you. I added some blur in photoshop as I wanted a dreamy effect as that is the way I see this, so I felt the need to complete my vision :)

I like those smooth and delicate photos that you show to us and that hard and elegant resistance. Magnificent the spring.

Like very much the very very slightly out of focus feel to this image especially around the trees and the tunnel of blossom. This is similar to something I shot last week, a different scene in the main but the tunnel of blossom is what I am getting at

les fleurs tissent une voute de neige, l'allée s'en va au loin dans la lumière blanche des fleurs, le cadrage particulier donne une impression de rêve où l'on entre à pas feutrés.

Now I feel miserable myself by looking out from my window, our backyard is still covered by snow and
flowering trees are so faraway in the future, but however seeing this makes good to my soul, it`s coming also here :))

Phototherapy from Switzerland
I shot these trees along the week-end, this is spring ;)
Amazing how one half is hi-key (like snow) and the other dark (like jungle)...Bothe serve as a frame for the perpective and give a ying-yang feeling. The red jacket at the oppposite adds a lot of depth. Very well done!

That's wonderful...the purple in the tree blooms adds a lifting, airy effect. Wow...nicely done!
