I can't be sure if this is an old Moreton Bay fig-tree or another variety; Port-Jackson perhaps? I can imagine the pixies and elfin characters living within the chambers of that buttressed support network, but I know that Enid Blyton saw them before me.
Not a dull, grey day, Opera House image anymore!

I had the same problem - experimentation has become my goto approach. Loving inverting and your images are a fabulous example of its magic
ReplyDeleteAmazing tree to begin with and love the texture processing you did to it; very bold and rich; so is the Opera House -- this works well. thanks so much for sharing - great job. kareninkenai (from PAF)
ReplyDeleteI love what the edit has done to the tree.
ReplyDeleteExperimenting with the textures is so much fun.
That is such an incredible tree! What ever sort of tree is it! Very interesting effect with your edit. and love the opera house. What amazing architecture that is. Very cool edit.
ReplyDeleteWonderful photos, I really like that tree is stunning, beautiful textures.
ReplyDeleteAmazing subject matter for your digital manipulations! Love the results Carole. I will have to follow your example and try and be as succinct when describing my editing process. Great idea to place the process on the texture so people can see exactly what was used. Thank you for sharing your artwork with Photo Art Friday.
ReplyDeleteyou're getting pretty snazzy with these. :)
ReplyDeleteThat tree photo is so cool to begin with.... I've not tried invert; I'll have to add that to my experiment list :) I just started playing with 'difference' after seeing Earl K's posts the last couple weeks, so now I'll add this one. Your choice of textures is great fun here.
ReplyDeleteParty atmosphere at the Opera House.
ReplyDeleteAnd that tree is magificent.
Does it produce edible figs? It looks nothing like my fig tree.
It is getting so that I can believe what I am seeing anymore. :) I love that tree.
ReplyDeleteThat tree is an amazing work of nature, no matter how you photograph it...and it looks great both ways! I must say, we DO think alike if you are dreaming of fairies and elfin creatures when you pass that tree!
ReplyDeleteLike what you've done with the Sydney Opera House photo too!
These are both so beautiful! The tree especially takes my breath away. I haven't tried this "inverting" yet - I'll have to look into it. Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteyour processing is superb!! and that tree is such a fairy tale image itself, awesome!!
ReplyDeleteThat tree in itself is stunning, but what you did with the picture of it goes way beyond that. I love your approach, it really is a piece of art.
ReplyDeleteWow that tree is amazing. Love the texture...it does look like a Fairy World come to life.
ReplyDeleteThe Opera House looks fab with your edit.
What a great tree! I like the colors you get with your editing.
ReplyDeleteAmazing!!!
ReplyDeleteJan
Both photos are great . . .
ReplyDeleteAn amazing tree. My first thought was how old is that tree?
ReplyDeleteNice edit of the tree and the Opera house is so colorful now.
That Moreton Bay fig tree seems to be the landmark @ the Santa Barbara Amtrak station _one must be there to really admire its majestic beauty :o)
