Beautiful gnarled tree. I can get lost in the depth in the background. I think I might see a person standing in the far left. Makes me want to wander in an see. This is remarkable.

Thanks for the comments everyone,

Ray, that is a figure you can see. I didn't notice him when I was taking the shot though.

Cheers, Gary.

I meant to do some more bare trees this winter, but don't seem to have got around to it. They make fascinating subjects, don't they. I like this one. The addition of textures has given it a moody, sombre feel. Is that a figure in the bottom-left, or an old stump?

Very nice. Like the shadows of trees in the bg for mood. Flypaper?

I love this. A strong and intereting subject to start with, enhanced by the texture.

I love applying texture overlays. This was well done and well received with the 2nd HM placement.
