Trée said...

We'll know in the morning. :-D

She did say surprise her. Of that I think she will be. :-)

She wants to open an antique store one day and call it Wabi Sabi, a concept very close to my heart.

Thanks for the kind words sweetie.

Very pretty. Is it Vue again?

Very nice! I especially like the rainbow effect in the background...the beauty of the gnarled branches truly represents Wabi Sabi. Maybe I can use this for my tags.

morning sweetie, hope you have a great Thursday (woo hoo its almost friday again LOL)

Christa, yes, this is Vue. I put the camera on the ground looking straight up and increased the focal length to add interest to the perspective. Then I played with the sky to do something a little different and adjusted the position of the sun to give me light where I wanted it. Once rendered, I took it to photoshop to do very slight adjustments to hue and contrast and add the black border and name plate. Then back to Picasa to do a very slight temp adjust and sharpen slightly. So there you go.

Thanks sweet woman for the kind words. :-)

So glad Ms Mario is pleased. I'll do a filtered version for Trebuchet. Look for it later today.

Trée said...

Yes, Tubey, it is almost Friday. :-D

Trée, your latest creations are absolutely stunning. You have such an eye for color, and you are so creative. The images keep getting more and more interesting.

I was just reading your comment on how you created this one. Wow, you're REALLY good with Vue, and are superb at tweaking with other programs. I know how tedious and difficult the programs can be, but you embraced them with the flair of a pro.

Thank you for sharing all your beautiful creations!

Thanks Monkey.

Trée said...

Me too Terry. Even the trees have a need for touch.

Trée said...

Thanks Sunshine.

Trée said...

Awww Deb, it's comments like yours that feeds this obsession of mine. You know you are just making me want to do more. :-D

I do appreciate your kind words. And I do appreciate the art you and Wontar produce on a consistent basis. Thanks again Deb. Comments like yours really do keep me going more than I would like to admit.

Lisa, sometimes I just don't quite know what to think of your comments. :-D

Was this one meant for the post below or does it have some meaning for this post that escapes the limited bandwidth of my brain today?

Talk to me baby. :-)

Aww. I do like this one very much.
There was a tree across from our little stream that sat out in front of all the rest of the trees
It had only two branches and they stretched out in opposite directions from the top of the tree. I liked to imagine it was the conductor of a great classical concert. It gave me great peace.

I love the idea of nature personified. This is a lovely rendering hon.

Trée said...

Thank you Aggie. I had a feeling you would like this one. :-)

I love the concept here, in the throws of turmoil, there's someone reaching out.

Trée said...

Karen, that is such a beautiful description of this image. I love it! Thanks for sharing your view. I wish I had thought of it first so I could say that's exactly what I was thinking when I did this one. :-D

Have a great weekend, from me and Jack. :-)

It just struck me as I looked deeper into the image. It does look like hands reaching out.

Trée said...

Karen, that's what I saw when I did this one. Two old souls, reaching for each other when the world had turned its back on them as relics and useless. What else do we really have other than each other?

what you have always,
is your self...
and the truth...

It does reminds of hands entwining, reaching out for someone who's always there for you. Lovely!

Trée said...

Thanks Chicky. This image has a way of growing on you. No pun intended. :-)

Lisa, my spelling is so bad I don't think I could write without spell check and these comments don't have that benefit. I didn't even notice. :-)
