Winner: Fifteenth Photo Competition

https://charioteers.org/2011/09/03/fifteenth-photo-competition/

Thanks very much, Charioteers,  for your excellent and varied entries.

Araminta:  Pollarded trees and chimney

I like the moody light in this photo and the chimney looks splendid against the trees.

Janus: Arborial Abundance

This one reminds me of an Impressionist painting.  I love the fresh lime foliage and lacey effect.

OZ: Jacarandas beside the Brisbane River

The wild exuberance of the Jacarandas contrasts beautifully with the formal landscaping.  Good photo.

Sheona: Trees in the Tatras

An interesting and unusual interpretation of the theme; reminds me of my other home where dead trees were transformed into bush furniture.

Nym: Tree and weather vane

This charmingly eccentric photo is a delightful surprise.

Christopher: Cherry Tree in Ueno Park, Tokyo

Lovely contrast between the silky grey of the tree trunk and spectacular blossom.

Bravo: Shadow of tree on church (?)

Clever interpretation; a most pleasing photo.

Low Wattage: Summer noon and Winter dawn (diptych)

Brilliant seasonal contrast. You could have entered this in John’s competition, LW!  I’m sure trees ‘work’ in their quiet way.

Rick: Metal tree in Budapest

An inspired tree, imo, which I’ve privately named ‘The Weeping Tree”.  Shame there were so many people, as I would have loved to see the whole sculpture.  Does it  ‘chime’ on a windy day, Rick?

Soutie: ‘Beach’ trees

Nice title, Soutie, and a fun take on the theme. This would raise a smile from me at first sighting, but I’m not sure I’d appreciate it as a permanent fixture!  (Thanks for the non-entry coral tree; very nice 🙂 ).

……… and the winner is ………

BRAVO!  Congratulations, Bravo, and well done everyone!
