A fabulous old tree, Eva. I like the way the moss looks like facial hair and bark like leathery skin. Well spotted!

I like this, Eva! I am always on the lookout for these kinds of scenes. I like the texture and color...and the whimsy.

Nicely done!

This is way cool, Eva. The deep shadows and muted colors make this come alive, but I often feel the old trees are watching.

This is cool. I like the way it takes a few moments to "get." Maybe slightly oversharpened?
