Morning surprise, frosty trails on my black glass topped garden table, looking like a magical tapestry.
Curious everyones thoughts on this photo. Mainly the editing. This photo was taken on a very overcast day in Animal Kingdom. Therefore the sky and clouds in this shot are 100% done in photoshop.
My question would be whats everyones take on something like this? Does it look to fake? Would you post this and let the viewer decide for themselves how this photo got from camera to their computer screen? Its definitely not something I would prefer to ever do but it was something I wanted to try and see how it turned out.

JUST ABOUT TO CHANGE TO NEW COMPUTER - Hopefully will get back later this evening :-))
Explosion of Life - I used an ultra wide lens for the last set of photos I took of this amazing tree. I'm very glad I thought of it because it gave me that amazing explosion of branches I was looking for.
As we watch this damned virus explode over our country, I'm going to think of this tree as a symbol of how we will rise up after we have triumphed over it.
For Macro Mondays' #open theme
An open charm on my Pandora bracelet. The front of the charm has a 'tree of life' symbol, and opens to show this message.
The open charm is approximately 1/2 inch in width.
Throughout our lives we are faced with hard times and joyous times. When the hard times last too long we are tested and must fight to rise above. Despite the scars of the battle, those moments of triumph are like a bird taking flight; we acquire beauty, strength and freedom to continue rising above.
I recently had the privilege to visit Aruba and create art with the beautiful friends I made there. Thank you Niko and Johnathan for bringing me to Aruba and the amazing Dana Wong for modeling with grace and poise!
I will be traveling to many countries this year teaching photography; check out www.robwoodcox.com/workshops to learn more and sign up for a workshop!
Tree of Life - Handmade Madhubani Painting displayed in the Indian Artisans Haat at MG Road, Bengaluru.
A branch off a fallen tree on a walk I encountered in Bridgend...
Wide aperture with a Lee Landscape Polariser...
Standing tall through the shifting seasons, this old tree reminds us that change is a form of strength.
Each branch tells a story of growth, resilience, and time — painted in the quiet fire of autumn.
Captured in the calm of the forest, where silence speaks and colors breathe.
The past few trips I’ve become really fascinated with shooting the tree from the It’s a Bug Life exit. I’ve found there’s no better time to try it than when they are running one of the shows as you get so many different color schemes to attempt to capture. Add in a few lasers (I could go for a few more) and I end up with an image I’m happy with. Enjoy.
The Tree of Life - AKA The Kalaloch Tree/The Runaway Tree is a Sitka spruce.
The Sitka spruce is noted for both its towering height and its wide trunk, two characteristics that contribute to this tree’s mystery. This massive tree clings to its parting coastal bluff by twisted thick roots with the majority of the root system now hanging into the existing void.
It still manages to live and thrive, even though its life supply has been taken away. With no soil underneath to support its growth, you wonder how it has withstood the intense coastal storms and the erosion from the stream within the cave. The existence of this tree goes against all the rules of science, a tree clinging to life.
There is mention that a couple has been coming to see the tree for 4 decades. And each year the tree remains in its questionable position, though it’s hard not to notice the dip and sag in the middle. Likely a result of the trunk’s heavy weight. It’s that dip and sag that make continual visitors believe that come next year, the tree will be no more.
( I don't usually post more than 1 post a day, but have been without wifi for a few days so will do a few while I can😊)
I love this tree... definitely one of my favorites. For some reason, it always makes me feel like I'm on some far away journey, an African safari maybe? :-)
dedicated to IckleEagle for her sweet testimonial... thank you!

For this dreamy morning effect, I started with a 2017 image of bird ladened tree taken in fog. In Snapseed I lightened the image, then added contrast by writing a new set of curves. Last step in Snapseed was applying the drama bright 2 preset. To give the tree a soft effect I used Brushstokes, picking N1 preset as my favorite. In DistressedFX I used just peachy at 70% and dusty at 60%. I finished by adding vignette 50 in Snapseed and hard cover border in Formulas.
This tree seems to be in quite the precarious situation as its root structure is exposed from soil erosion. Yet it keeps holding on.

Went for a short walk this afternoon in our little borough of Stonington, where photo ops pop up on every corner or in every nook and cranny!
I've completed 7 sephirot on the tree of life (and the pseudo-sephira that Golden-Dawn-types call "Daath"). Hit a bit of a standstill due to lack of the shade I use for the interstitial squares, which is why Tiferet and Hod aren't linked in.
It only took me eight years of photographing at Disney Parks, but hey I finally did a park close at Animal Kingdom! One last look back at The Tree of Life after a great day of photographing with friends. Animal Kingdom really is a beautiful all-day and night park now!
This manipulation has not turned out quite the way I want. I have an image in mind, and while this is close, it is not there yet.
