Good literalism! One of my favorites. I like the unusual aspect ratio but wish there was a little less black on the left hand side.

trees: harmless?

The contrast is too strong IMHO, spoils what could have been a good shot. Also I'm not quite sure about your title? Trees are mostly harmless, but then again how often does prpaganda tell the truth?

Beautiful shot, shame about the tree on far right and the moden car. Apart from that the composition is spot on.

Falling

Hey Robin,

Unfortunalty I didn’t vote on the Dreams and Nightmares challenge, however I do really like this shot.
The idea of a falling dream/nightmare works well as I guess it relates to a lot of people, I know it does me. That along with the zoom effect, an effect I have seen used a few times on DPC before and it really hasn’t worked for me. In the past I don’t think the feeling of motion generally suits the pictures I have seen. However in this case the effect creates the main impact of the image. A kind of interaction between the photograph and the viewer, almost like a magic eye.

As far as the actual scene its self is concerned it feels as if it is cropped a little too much, I think I would have preferred a wider angle to show more of the scene. Although I guess that would have made it harder to get the required angle to give the impression of falling, without taking the photograph from a higher position. Although I guess the best tribute to this photo is the number of people who actually experienced the falling sensation :-)

I don’t know if it was done for a reason but personally, I would like to have the horizontal and vertical borders the same width. But overall very well done.

Tom.

Good macro, and nice use of sepia tone. However the focus seems ever so slightly soft.

Fantastic colour, would have cropped out some of the water myself.
