[Leica] Tuesday Trees

[pdzwig at summaventures.com (Peter Dzwig)]

Don,

they are all fascinating. I think that my favourites are the first and
Tangles.

I am sure that the house will be long gone when the tree eventually
collapses. Bet it reduces the value of the house though!

Tangles is great but I think I would have dodged the top right quadrant
and reduced the highlights in the rest and stressed the detail in the
lower half. Perhaps though I would just crop it tighter and work on the
detail (getting rid of whatever it is in the foreground that looks like
a wishbone, and most of the water).

Regards,

Peter
