Hi Alan. A beautiful frame as always.
Is this being dodged and burned for local area in PP?

Thanks Vijay. This is a reworked image, but with very little dodging or burning applied (if any).

The results of this blending technique are stunning and dreamlike.

Thank you for your kind and generous words Chris.

Another great example of your keen eye Alan.
It's intriguing that the asymmetry of the shadow adds a certain very subtle tension that is not normally part of your compositional style.
Great work!

Thanks Julian. I can't say the asymmetrical shadow was planned, but will gladly accept the recognition (must have been my sub-conscious....)

This is a favorite!!! REALLY nicely done Alan.

Thanks Ruth, I always appreciate your kind and generous comments.

Congratulations, Alan! You've done it again with one of your ICM/multiple exposure blend tree images. You're obviously on to something that appeals to many people, and getting more recognition as you refine your technique. Well done!

Thanks Chris, it's with the guidance of others (including yourself) that I am able to reach others.
The community support is very humbling, and always appreciated.

Congratulations Alan !!!! This is really quite exquisite 🙂

Aw...Shucks, thanks Sandra. Now I'm blushing :-)

It was well worth the effort. Love the simplicity, the colour palette and the “feel”.

Thanks Chris, I appreciate your comment

Beautifully done Alan. Congrats on the pick!

Thanks Jens, I appreciate your feedback.

This is number 2 isn't it?! Well deserved Alan!

Very nice Alan, do we need to give this technique a name - Brownian motion perhaps?

Ha - too funny Tim. This is basically a modified version of a technique developed by Pep Ventosa.

That's oddly appropriate! Do we have another scientist among us?

Such a beautiful image of the tree.
