Advertisement Posted July 31, 2009 Posted July 31, 2009 Hi pauledell, Take a look here Old Man Tree. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
biglouis Posted July 31, 2009 Share #2 Posted July 31, 2009 Paul A strong image which works well in b&w. I think it could benefit from more sharpening. LouisB Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
vdb Posted July 31, 2009 Share #3 Posted July 31, 2009 Paul, did you sneak into my back yard? I have that same tree living here:) Well done. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuny Posted July 31, 2009 Share #4 Posted July 31, 2009 Virgil - Just before you bought your property your tree's twin brother gave in to its wander lust, as well as its love of college football and hitched to Ft. Wayne. Afterwards he joined some other ND fans at The Shamrock Bar, just east of town, and was eventually abandoned by his drinking buddies. He wandered slowly, generally eastward for a few hours before putting down roots near Paul's home, where he remains today, disappointed, stalwart, but with fine memories or many of the souls he met while on the road. Paul - Lovely, but I'm not sure if sharpening would make it look too processed or not. I like it as it is (and me the focus freak). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pauledell Posted July 31, 2009 Author Share #5 Posted July 31, 2009 Louis, I agree with you about a touch of sharpening. Here is a retouched version. Any further attempts would overprocess it as Stuart says. Virgil and Stuart, Stuart's assessment of Old Man Tree's is probably correct. Upon further examination, it appears he origionally came from Valparasio. There is evidence of NW Indiana history on the old guy (coal dust from the steel mills). He does seem to miss his siblings.

vdb Posted August 1, 2009 Share #6 Posted August 1, 2009 The sharpened version is better. Stuart, thanks for the family history on the trees. I've never been able to get them to talk to me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
