Title: Ancient Bay Laurel Tree, Imtarfa, Malta
Post by: ripgriffith on April 02, 2015, 12:29:07 pm

One of few indigenous Bay Laurels in Malta.  The species dates back to the Pleistocene era and predates humans in Malta.

The detail is overwhelming.

Lovely detail. Would like to see just a hint more in the blacks. This is also a good candidate for a square composition, centre on the right 2/3s. There is great, natural graphic design here; I find the straight line board (?) in the lower left just a bit visually distracting - the square composition would eliminate much of it.

Terry is consistently one of the most astute and coherent commentators on the LuLa forum.
Once again he has expressed exactly what I have felt.
