I liked it, enough to look at it for a while.   Eventually the spaces between the branches to the right of the tree became the more interesting parts for me.

An excellent example of "the thing itself," Jeremy. It clearly is a tree.

Thanks for the reassurance, Russ! Sadly, it's plainly no more than that.

Jeremy,

I get a deep feeling that this is trying to be more than just a tree.  I keep wanting more context in order that I might find the rusty coloured areas as a window to other realities.

The colour pallette is very soothing and peaceful which is possibly a significant factor in my reaction to the photo.

Cheers,

W

Interesting idea that seems to be catchy!

This is one of my versions of it. Would have been nice to have been able to use my new and unused backdrop, but then I didn't have it at the time... apart from what the security people would have said on the matter.
