Beautiful shot, very spacy .. showing the little child and her big big friend, the tree .. has something of a fairy tale atmosphere .. the white gaze on the photo is less my taste, without it would be as attractive to me !

You know how to use a digital camera and make the output look like it's NOT digital...
Most people do not and their work screams "digicam" from a mile away.

My first thoughts were WOW what a picture but then I came to look at it agin and I feel that it is perhaps a little to contrived. To much sun on the foreground trunks and boughs but far too glum in the background. The balance is all wrong. One wonders what it looked liked pre photoshop?
Just not naturalistic enough for me I'm afraid.
Justin.

It would indeed make a great illustration for something like Alice in Wonderland and the skill that has gone into producing it is worth noting, but again I keep looking at it and I keep finding things I don't like. The girls arms strike me as being to long, her small hands would not be able to grip a large branch in the manner shown and she is too far off the ground. How did she get there? Alice In Wonderland stuff indeed.
It's details like this that let down an otherwise delightful image.
There is a thread in the Philosophy forum which touches on the validity or otherwise of considering such pictures photographs. This one, though quite lovely has in my view gone beyond the line.
Yours
Justin (Miserable git) :-)

Justin, I applaud you for finding the faults of this image and stating them. It is what makes Usefilm such a great place to learn. You have touched upon things that detract for you and might improve. I have seen the debate you mention on the philosophical issues. This is placed in the category "photoart" and there is mention of two cameras. I assume it was judged for what it is. Thank you for your candid remarks. T.

What curious tones in this photograph. I often chose not to comment when many have done so before me, but I could not pass this one by. Without the girl, I do not think that the light would be very wonderful on this scene, but with her it looks as if it was all set up by a master of lighting. Congrats on the EC too.

Stefan, thank you dearly for your generous comment. Your observation has struck a chord with me, because you spotted what was at the core of this creation. My feeling exactly about the woodland without the girl. After working in that image for quite some time to make it live on its own, I concluded to put it away. But then I saw that John Sigler had been in his workshop the same evening on a composite with a beautiful landscape (something quite different), and it inspired me to return to mine to make it what you see now. The poem speaks to my heart about youth and the magic of those woods.

Great picture. The composition is wonderful. I like how you show the proportion of the little girl playing with the big and old tree. So nice. Congrats..:)

Hi Toni, Very much admire the tone range jhere, what have you done to achieve the greys in the background, it is as if in parts of the frame the contrast brought down but not others, lots to enjoy here, great movement from your(?) child, thanks must go also to the tree.

Thank you Ian. I used a very transparent layer of white to bring down the contrast and enhance the DOF in the back and at the top. I was experimenting with the technique. There was a lot of dodging and burning applied here as well. I added the layer as a fill, tweaked the opacity, and then erased (using a soft brush at low opacity) to take away the sections I didn't want. Hope that helps. T.

Toni - this is so so stunning, No wonder it has an award and so many viewings and comments, a very special composition. It is like a fine illustration from an old book. The poem to go with is lovely too. Will add to favourites [Is this the red dress used in some of your other shots]

...oh and Margaret, one more thing...it is the same tree, but the limb from which she hangs has since been cut off. You can see it above Rachel's head in "Woodland Princess"!
