Description It's that tree again, in Belvoir Forest Park, Belfast. In the spirit of trying something different, I thought I would go for a portrait view rather than the more common landscape shot. This means that the tree fills the whole frame, and then some, however, it permits a different configuration of the branches.

I have tried to maintain the contrast to emphasize the pattern of the branches visible through the light spring foliage.

The colour palette here is very resticted to shades of green and colours close to black and white.

(Reworked from scratch - 7 August.)

Best viewed large.

Very nice composition and well controled exposure. It looks like a great tree for climbing.

Thank you Tony. I dare say it could be climbed, but rather by someone else with a head for heights

You're welcome Gerard. If I ever visit Belfast again I'll have to find it and give it a go.
