Annemette Rosenborg Eriksen {K:55797} 11/3/2006

Dear Mary
What a great thing to do:-)You´ve turned the tree into an eye that looks back in time at all that has happened while the tree was standing there through history. Well, that´s at least how I feel about it! Great one!
Best wishes,
Annemette

So glad to see you posting, dear Mary! This has such depth...and I agree that it resembles an elephant's eye.:)

Marian Man {K:73860} 11/3/2006

Anson Moye {K:3480} 11/5/2006

This image has an infinite amount of depth to it, Mary, and where the eye can venture no more, the imagination takes over. What does this wooden eye see, or is it truly wooden, or just an illusion? It appears part of a living being, but is that just my imagination? I have viewed this one several times, and always come away with something new, remarkable
y. Good to have you back, Mary, and in this case without at least some of the troublesome parts. Anson

Masahiko Shibata {K:14814} 11/5/2006

Beautiful abstract!!

Ace Star {K:20916} 11/6/2006

stingRay part 2 . {K:239449} 11/6/2006

Hi there sweet Mary how good to see a posting from you again.....I took a little time out to catch up on other matters in my life and I am once again way behind.....heyho.

This is a wonderful creative piece of photoart my dear friend and I love the way the tree has taken on the appearance of a passageway or alley and retained the look of an eye. Awesome details and textures with wonderful tonal qualities. Eye too look forward to seeing you next post. I owe you an 'e' and will catch up real soon. My very best wishes to you as always sweetie, big hug....Ray;)

Mary Slade {K:40918} 11/6/2006

Thanks Ace for your good words and thoughts.

Mary Slade {K:40918} 11/6/2006

Thanks for your perfect and inspirational words Anson- they inspire me to think and see more. And your kind words much appreciated.

Mary Slade {K:40918} 11/6/2006

Thanks Masahiko- delighted I did an abstract!!

Mary Slade {K:40918} 11/6/2006

Thanks Ray- glad you liked what I saw in a tree trunk! (PS, No need to feel that you "owe" me anything- life is busy for all...if we are lucky!)

vanessa shakesheff {K:66126} 11/6/2006

Love this mary lovely textures..reminds me of an elephants eye ..but if you look into the eye you see a path covered by a archway of trees..beautiful 7/7..nessa

Rina {K:27299} 11/6/2006

How cool is that! Thought from the thumbnail, that you'd gotten up close and personal with an elephant :) Great find Mary, love the idea of the path 'reflection', nice touch...

Cheers
Rina.

Mary Slade {K:40918} 11/7/2006

Thanks Nessa- glad you like. Wish I could really see an elephant when I walk down that path!

Mary Slade {K:40918} 11/7/2006

Thanks Rina- now there is a good idea- they should keep elephants down the alley along with the horses!

Mary Slade {K:40918} 11/7/2006

Bruce Harper {K:5305} 11/8/2006

Nice to see you back Mary, hope the recovery is going well.

This one really draws one in, almost feel like I'm falling into strange world inside a tree, leaving the current one behind. Maybe even expect to see a rabbit running along hinting for me to follow ;)

Mary Slade {K:40918} 11/8/2006

Thanks for your good wishes Bruce. Great to hear thoughts about my made up piccies- makes me see more! Definitely see Alice in Wonderland now!

Thanks Galal- appreciate your comments.

Robin Wickenkamp {K:16478} 11/9/2006

Brilliant Mary...the idea, the title, the detail...simply brilliant!!!

Take care...Robin

Ian McIntosh {K:42170} 11/10/2006

The hard contrast works here. I guess not commonly used in such a deception as your channel in the knot. More effective for that than any ammount of diffuse vagueness (equally vague in its hardness).
Man I'm not sure I make sense to you but I promise I know what I'm talking about. (I think I'm being quite succinct actually...)

Nice picture Mary.

jacques brisebois {K:70473} 11/10/2006

great texture and very nice contrast, great capture my friend.

Mary Slade {K:40918} 11/11/2006

Thanks Jacques- much appreciated.

Mary Slade {K:40918} 11/11/2006

Thanks Ian- think I get what you mean- go for it don't hide it!

Eye thank you Dubravko:)

elizabeth Blair {K:2202} 11/12/2006

Now that is trippy!! The shape of the wood is like an eye...then, the pathway you have in the middle is a trip into the soul...
Great work!! Great combination!! Love it....:)

Now I like your idea- a trip into the soul - I shall certainly see more in the trees now. Thanks Elizabeth.

Karina Brys {K:16541} 11/14/2006

Once again, an intruiging image. Has probably been said already (I didn't read all the comments), but it looks like the eye of an elephant.

Mary Slade {K:40918} 11/15/2006

Thanks Karina- it's great- I can see an eye of an elephant now too! Wish I could find one in the woods!

Tony Smallman {K:18748} 11/16/2006

You don't miss anything, do you? At first I thought it was a close up of an elephant's eye. Well done.

Mary Slade {K:40918} 11/26/2006

Mark Sherman {K:15637} 2/12/2007

Amazing this looks like an impact crater from a meteor. Almost can see a passageway in the center of the "eye".

Mary Slade {K:40918} 2/12/2007

Great the way you saw the tree Mark- I will be watching out for meteors every walk in the woods now!

Eb Mueller {K:23797} 2/16/2007
