Although breaking the 'rule of thirds' I kinda like

I like that photo, but if you're going to center the tree, you should center the tree... Anyway, what blurred the background - a filter, or some other sort of processing? |

I like the view too. Many years with the Hasselblad lead me to an appreciation of the square format and the 4x5 1.25 ratio. Pano has its uses too but in general I tend to focus on a small area of fine detail so a centered subject works fine. |

In the original the trunk was much darker and I had to play around a little to make its detail more visible. I didn't want to overdo the light through the leaves. -- Regards, Eric Stevens |

Unfortunately I couldn't do that as my house has no attic. or https://www.dropbox.com/s/ihw4m1g8hn4a4j5/Tree_DSC5299-br-E%281%29.jpg Aah! The moonlight shot. Actually, I was working towards a small bright print to be framed and mounted on the wall. (I am still waiting for the framer to finish with it). While your sombre print is interesting it wouldn't met my criteria. I like the monochrome but I wish it was an engraving. -- Regards, Eric Stevens |

Is this a copy of a real photo. It has the somewhat dated color look.

Anyway, what blurred the background - a filter, or some other sort of processing? Depth of focus. At F11? That's what has me confused. |

It has the somewhat dated color look. 10th November 2012 at 2:23pm. I processed the image in Photoshop. I haven't done anything with color except Clarity, vibrance and saturation in ACR. For the rest, I (1) created an inverted luminance mask so I could concentrate my adjustments on the tree trunk, (2) used the mask to apply a curves adjustment layer, (3) used the mask with a brightness/contrast layer and (4) duplicated layer (3) to in effect gain a more contrasted effect. I have told you all this to show you that I have only been playing around with light and shade, not colour. -- Regards, Eric Stevens |
