Amazing moving feeling. Did you do something or does the trees look like that?

Jerry Berry Thank you Anna.
I assume you are asking about the three main trees with the curved trunks. The trees are real and look like that. My other image shows one of the same trees.

Great shot. Bonus points for the title.

Jerry Berry Thanks King. The bonus points will come in handy since I usually get points taken off for my titles. They are usually so uninspiring. But then, I guess those images don't inspire any titles. This one did :-)

Wonderful image! also very special, as if they are alive:)

Jerry Berry Thank you Marie-Louise.
Well....they are alive :-)
They just usually do their swaying at the top.

Where in Colorado could be found these dancing trees, Jerry? Or, this is your secret? :-) Beautiful image, love it!
all the best
Codrin

Jerry Berry Ah Codrin, thank you.
OK I will tell you the secret place but you must not let it out.
Just to the north and west of you is this beautiful Emerald Isle where the Leprechauns love to play. At the end of the rainbow is a group of large boulders stacked unnaturally and very conspicuous. If you approach them from a certain angle you will see a rabbit/worm hole. If you tumble down this rabbit/worm hole you will come upon the Queen of Hearts (walking backwards). She will scold you and then direct you to a trail that will lead you to ZO. (She is walking backwards so she doesn't really know that it is really OZ). This trail is actually a yellow brick road leading through fields of poppies and a very dark forest with Lions and Tigers and Bears "Oh MY!" As you climb higher and higher you may get a glimpse of a vile little creature whispering something about "My Precious" Pay him no mind. Once you are above the clouds, you can hear the Siren's in the ocean playing Ukulale's with Don Ho tied up to a mast on a ship. You will then approach these trees that do the Hula to this music.

Codrin Lupei Jerry, I thought that there has to be, I know those places, been there not once, I guess that I wasn't in the right moment, probably the Siren was tired or something and the trees missed the music...Thanks for sharing it!
all the best
Codrin

Jerry Berry I knew you hung out there frequently. I was surprised not to find you there that day.

I like you style so much. do you use a filter? really well done Jerry, ciao.

Jerry Berry Thank you Giorgio. I use many different methods. Some in the digital darkroom for more control, and others in camera or on the filter.

Nice effects Jerry. What I really like about this is that it makes me think that you have "created" a photo by putting your interpretation on it rather than just playing round with post processing. (hope that makes sense)

Jerry Berry What a great compliment Andrew. Thank you very much.
I'm sure you have heard this quote by Ansel Adams. It goes something like this.

"Great photographs are not taken, they are made"

ooh! very nice! I really like the almost solid white trunks in the middle ground!

Jerry Berry Thank you very much ifdelself.

Nice mood in this one. No wonder you put it into "mood" :)

Jerry Berry Thanks Ursula. Sometimes I feel I want to shy away from creative edit. Most of the time I just want somebody else to decide where it should go, along with deciding on the title. :-)
