Cascade on the barbed wire New photography

I have recently tried a new set up for photographing my trees, the background is Black Velvet, it absorbs the flash and cuts out reflections. I have also included an 'enhanced' version produced by IBC member Ed van der Reek. Thanks Ed... nice touch me thinks.

very cool display. The stand and pot compliment each other very well. What kind of tree is this?

WOW. beautiful and "reflective" (i hope its the right word....).

your presentation is really taking the "tree" and forward it ahead. this is ART.

people learnd me thei never shall aply crossed wire! in this case tony i forgive u!! ;-)

STUNNING!

grtzz machiel who went from wood to solar power!!

What a great composition! I really like this. Everything goes so well together. Gnarly, hollowed trunk to barbed wire, pot to fence post, tree to pot, and the green of foliage to moss. The lighting is fantastic as well.

this one is really nice - both in pics and for real, if the stand wood was a few shades darker it would be brilliant.

Black cloth is the best by far, velvet looks great tony - a spare bit from your cape or was it the bed sheet

see you Sunday?

Very nice Tony! I could even see a woodpecker hole in a post/stump such as this to add atmosphere.
What kind of tree is this?
Thanks,

I tell you what Tony: European bonsai artist are setting their techniques and their expression and creative display. You are one of them. I'll always support it and I love it. Amen.

Thanks Tony,I am glad you like it.I try out my new Photoshopprogram CS6
Gr Ed

Tony, That is a wonderful tree and I like the display (good idea ).

Ed, I've seen the demo video of CS6 and it is a super duper editing software (best in the world?). I can't even imagine what it can really do. Must be fun to play with it.

Beautiful Tony! Love the photography too!

Is there a diff. in method from pic 1 vs. pic 3? Pic 3 I seem to see more detail than pic 1. Thanks for posting this lovely tree and stand!

Hi Fore, the second image has been manipulated in Photoshop by Ed.

Thanks Tony!

Thanks Tony. I envy you folks with those beautiful Sloes!

Nice one Tony! I realy love how you used that barbwire! You could poet some sheep hair on one off those pins to make it even more authentic! Well don!
