Day 2 of blue week here. Today's image brings me back to some shots I took this summer. I like the silhouetted tree against blue sky effect. The best thing is, this is how the camera exposes for a scene like this, so there's no thinking involved. Colors and contrast boosted a little in post, and some heavy vignette added. My favorite part is probably the highlights coming off the water through the trees at the bottom of the frame.

Nice shot! The part that really draws me in is the top 2/3 of the image. I think you could probably crop out the tree line and below for a more abstract/artsy feel, but I do like the sparkling water and the leaves as well.
ReplyDeleteDitto what Matt said. Also reminds me a bit of the book cover for Her Fearful Symmetry:

@ Matt - I see your point, but I think there are some interesting elements in the bottom (the water, the shadows of the trees) that I wouldn't want to throw away. I guess if I had gotten closer and framed it differently that would work.
ReplyDelete@ Kristan - Yeah, I'm definitely not the first person to do this, but I like the effect. I don't think I have any on Flickr, but I did a whole series of tree silhouettes this spring. I really just like the deep blue sky you get.
