November 2024 - Within a Rhododendron
About the Image(s)
Sony a6600 ??“ Sigma 56mm DC DN ??“ ISO 400 ??“ 1/30 F5.6 Handheld
Whilst wandering around this grand garden called Ramster, we came upon these mass Rhododendron Bush/Trees which were impressive from the outside, but from the inside became their own mysterious jungle and does make for interesting landscape type images.
I find these images so fascinating and normally take them for black and white, but the tones of green were so good I left this one in colour. Hope you enjoy.

The colors are captivating and glad it's not in B&W. At first, I thought it was 'too busy', but here it's not, because it's almost a collage I think. I'd probably want to crop a little from the bottom to focus mainly on the curvy trees. Nice Paul. Posted: 11/06/2024 03:10:51
Beautiful shapes in the image. As a scape it does seem a bit busy but I think the image works as it shows a different kind of scape Posted: 11/06/2024 17:09:48
I really like how the brown trunks and branches blend in with the vibrant greens. It's an awesome image. I would probably cut out the bottom part and just focus on the branches and the greens for a more graphic kind of image. But I love it the way it is too! Posted: 11/09/2024 02:53:27

I love this image! Abstracts and plant life are fun to capture, and you did it masterfully here! Posted: 11/09/2024 19:27:10
As veteran mountain hiker this image remain me to the moment when I was in mount Gede of West Java and other mountain in Java island. There are some area with this typical trees formation. I love contrast between brown and green in this image. The tress branches like dancing. Nice nature image. Posted: 11/13/2024 13:33:56
