Hi everyone,
Grant

Great shot of a great tree
Did this end up getting defoliated this year?

It is looking great guys but again, nothing compares to seeing the trees of the collection in the bark! The flowing curves, carving work and structure of Quentin's Elm must really be seen in person to truly appreciate. While your photography is good it just doesn't portray the rhythm or movement that you see when viewing in person.

Here is a shot I took recently that I quiet like...
I can't wait to see a picture of it in winter when it is nekked

Regards,
Steven

For various reasons I decided not to defoliate this tree this year.

Quentin is so good with detail his trees are are real inspiration. I think his collection was seriously damaged by the recent hailstorm. I hope the damage is repairable.

I do like his style Craig

Great shot!! Background is nicely OOF on this one, superb work.

Love your shot Steven... Grant, I think your shot looks just a touch dark.

Maybe something like this...What do you think?

Hey Webos - how did you do that mate?

Leigh

I really like the trunk shot with the short depth of field and the out of focus person. Great perspective & nice clarity and colour.



Cheers

Webos - send that touched up pic to nbpca@bigpond.com.

Thanks mate.

Leigh.

Yes Quentin is an inspiration to us all !!! Many trees of that caliber in his collection. Some damage has occured in his collection due to the hail storm. many years of fine twiggy ramification lost. Not much to some, but meant years of teadious work for him. This man is so generous with his time and effort for the clubs of Vic, as well as many of us individuals. HE's our home boy and we love him!!!

Lightened it up a bit on the computer. Hows that now?
