Excellent capture, like very much the way the limbs of the tree frame Rachel. I also noticed that the tree forms like a hand & she's standing on the palm. Nice tones too, well done Toni, best wishes & cheers.

o.k...Abel...what is up? Something is strange here. How is it that you happened to be in the woods in red taking a picture in a tree before I posted mine? You are playing with me here..right? I saw something else put up by another person that was along these lines -- it looked like a joke. Would you clue me in?

Abel, do you not have Adobe Photoshop? If not, maybe you can get it. You will love it. PhotoElements is less expensive and is also an excellent program. Total Training makes tutorials for the computer that are really helpful in getting started.

The composition is very good, as is the DOF. From the dark shadow, it looks like direct sunlight. That is always a difficult time of day to capture the richness of colors and tones. Light and location are both very important. I have a lot of shots like this where I have captured a scene because I wanted the scene, but the light wasn't the best. Then I just do the best I can with PS to enhance. Those usually don't make it to Usefilm unless either I am looking to solve a problem I think others can help me with, or the scene is worth sharing inspite of everything else. Antonia.

Abel, thank you and I'm so glad you like my woods shots so much. The lighting in this part of the woods is amazing, not to mention the wonderful trees. The trees are spaced quite a bit apart, and their leaves and branches permit the light to filter through so that the limbs get this extraordinary wide range of tones. It is the time of day, coupled with location. When I convert to BW, I use channel mixer first, then adjust some with levels, and last I use curves to fine-tune. It varies how much of this is necessary. This shot has no dodging or burning, but sometimes I do a little of that as well, just to push the darks and highlights where I want them to be enhanced. In "Youth" and "Magical Thinking II" I also used a layer of white to create the haze in the background. This is to enhance DOF without blur...a little technique I made up. I create a layer of white, then draw the opacity way down. Next, I use eraser tool to remove what I don't want (which is most the layer). The tool is used at different opacities to create the variation I desire. Hope this helps answer your questions. This may be more than you wanted to know...lol. Antonia.

VEry very nice!
But how did you do this?
The lightning is soo perfect.. I tried the woods too but my shots didnt become good, they just hadn't it.. But your wood shots are incredible! I just was curious how you did it.

Toni, this is awesome. I love your sense of creativity. She did good by getting in the tree. That tree looks like it is swallowing her. Kind of scary like a fairy tale.
Good stuff and great imagination. Good for Rachel also. Wish I could get my kids to do more for me!!

Very nice capture Toni. This tree is absolutely fantastic!! Is is the same that one can see on you other image? I love it :).
The way you captured Rachel, hanging from the limbs gives the impression that her arms are young branches growing on the limbs.
This is a really nice composition Toni
Congrats

A fine ruffled bird... by any name...
Being a digi... suppose that some PS fiddling could be justified...
Wonder whether the contrast levels upon arms of the PYT should be adjusted... to more separate from the branches in the rear... or visa versa...
