About the Image(s)
You may recognize this iconic Cypress from some movies, located in the California Monterey Coastline.
It was a dull cloudy day. I simply cropped a bit from the right and bottom and pumped up the contrast and sharpening a bit.

This is very classic Joe. Hard to know how it could be better. It has the look of Japan about it. Posted: 03/05/2025 10:57:36
A classic. Too bad you didn't have a nicer day. Posted: 03/06/2025 15:09:50
Peggy's on to something here: it does have a bonsai feel to it. I like the way the trees in the lower left are illuminated -- lots of three dimensionality vibes. Perhaps a little too much sharpening? Nice composition. As always, a dull day can provide a soft box look, and it does here. Atmospheric image. Posted: 03/12/2025 20:05:39
