Special Thanks once more to Cari McKeenan and the Little Branch for providing with the trees and plants.

Scene made by me.

Thank you for stopping by! I appreciate it.

Like how you can see weather direction - back half icy showing wind and water direction. Sits along the shorelines of Lake Ontario at Bluffer's Park. A GORGEOUS part of the city. Shadow play is kinda cool.

Happy Day to You All. 🙋‍♀️🌷

And though our roots belong to the same tree, our branches have grown in different directions.

I took this in March, just as the trees were getting tiny buds....which are now all lush with green leaves.

Taken with Meyer Optik Gorlitz Oreston 50mm lens.

On our way through the woodlands before Sugar Loaf Hill, we found a great many sessile oaks with immense levels of character.

I enjoy trying to find balance within the frame, especially when the subject is not perfectly symmetrical. I probably took the shot a dozen times, trying to move the sun around the branches as it set behind the slope beyond. I used f11 on the XF 16 1.4 as it was the best compromise for front to back sharpness, and the resulting sunstar. Certain media has had an influence on both the composition and the colouring of this shot. I softened the highlights, introduced a golden tint to both shadows and highlights, and raised the blacks to soften the contrast a little. Using a gradient I decided to really push the exposure in the upper half of the image to maximise the fantasy inspiration (Elden Ring).
