Viewed this way, the trees take on individual personalities, all the while clinging to one another so they may dance. Reply
Very effective and beautiful result ! I saw a photo 40 years ago, somebody did rotate a camera while 1/3 underside was covered by black paper hence only top 2/3 of picture showed rotating streak. Reply
Thank you, Yoshizen. That photograph must have been effective for you to remember it for so long. Sounds interesting. Reply
Thank you, Anne. There were a mix a birch and poplars, I think, although the birches were thin and don’t really show up so much! Reply
Wonderful use of the thirds rule in both dimensions. It’s almost like a pencil drawing on embossed wallpaper. Great effect Karen. Reply
Love your painterly abstracts. The rise of color from browns and grays to white is very effective. I want to walk right in. Beautiful image, Karen. Reply
This really reminds me of Twin Peaks – the trees look as if they are turning into curtains. It’s a wonderful textural shot. Reply
Ha, Twin Peaks – I guess it could have a bit of that feel. Turning into curtains – that’s an interesting thought… Thanks, Richard! Reply
Thanks, Cath. Yes it’s sort of interesting the way the movement wraps around the trees – you never know how these sort of images might turn out! Reply
Love it! They seem to be moving. I like that this photo can be interpreted in different ways – both peaceful and a bit scary. Reply
draw and shoot 
Love it Karen!
Thanks, Adrian!

It’s what they do when no one is looking. : )
I like this – a lot! But I would like to see it with a hint of colour.
Warm or cool colour, Louis? : )
Thank you.
I think warm – but it would be interesting to experiment with both to test the difference in ‘feel’
I absolutely love your ‘fuzzies.’
Thanks, Christian. They are fun to make.
Very effective and beautiful result !

Love this, Karen. I can see a big hand sweeping across those trees, like grass.
Thank you, Judy!
Sweeps me off my feet! It is so dynamic and alive! And yet so simple
Thanks very much, Chris, that’s a great reaction! : )
You made a beautiful piece of art, really moving me. Thank you
Like it…. Like it a lot. The blurriness is balanced right and works well.
Thanks for sharing
Thank you, Todor!
Nearly all of your photos are amazing and beautiful, but this has something extra.
Thank you, I’m glad you think so!
Lovely, are they poplars? They have poplar colours.

Hi David, thanks very much. I like your interpretation and I’m happy you like it!
wonderful atmospheric image Karen
Thank you, Johan!
Great, subtle use of color, Karen. Suits the subject perfectly.
Hi Alessandro, thank you. I do tend to love the subtle tones.

Thanks very much, Jane. I really appreciate your kind comment.

Turning into curtains – that’s an interesting thought…
Thanks, Richard!
Nunca Se Me Ocurriría Hacer Una Fotografía Así… Sin Duda Me Gusta mucho… Un Saludo.
Gracias! : )
There’s an amazing effect in these, they become almost 3d the more you look into them..
Thanks, Cath. Yes it’s sort of interesting the way the movement wraps around the trees – you never know how these sort of images might turn out!
My kind of image. Great.
I’m happy you like it, thank you!
magical scene….The combination of a title and a photograph extends the world.
Thank you, Akanedou!
Love it! They seem to be moving. I like that this photo can be interpreted in different ways – both peaceful and a bit scary.
Thanks, Inga. : )
Looking at this I feel like I’m watching a film at a very dramatic moment.
A tension, I guess? Thanks for your comment, Steven.
It’s like they are vibrating, full of life… beautiful
Thanks, Emily!
A magical forest.
