About the Image(s)
The image was taken on April, 2016, while on a tour to the Pacific Bonsai Museum, Feral Way, WA. It was shot using Sony a-6000 camera with a Sony 16-50 mm f3.5-5.6 lens. Camera settings: f/6.3, 1/250 sec, ISO 100 and on tripod. In post processing, LR and photoshop CS4 were used to edit the image.

Detail in the wood is interesting; the shadows and sharpness of the image cause a person to take a second look.. Very nicely done... Posted: 06/12/2021 10:23:57
A interesting bonsai tree. The shapes and angles add interest. Unfortunately it looks like it was shot during mid-day and the light is a bit harsh. I tried darkening it down and burning in the highlights. Result is attached. Posted: 06/24/2021 11:55:18
I like the original lighting best. For me it brings out the shape and texture of the driftwood, as well as the bowl shape of the surrounding vessel. Posted: 06/25/2021 21:13:53

Your triple composition of living tree, dead wood holder, and shadows is very compelling. Have you tried this in monochrome as well? Posted: 06/28/2021 16:44:14
