_____Random Info
There was no Photoshop involved other than levels, duotone and sharpen.
Another shot from the little grove at the Rhinebanks in Groenland, Netherlands during the storm last weekend. Just did a different composition this time works just as well, thus I like it and thought I might share this as well.
Also I figured I'd print this and use a black passepartout with a white core. Thus the for me unusual frame.

I really like the shaky and blurry qualities.. it gives the feel of being semi conscious being dragged away in the woods... nice contrast.. I like

Thanks, sadly I took only 2 shots that didn't have a shaking tripod due to the strong winds otherwise there'd be one more to come.

Hm, this one is also very nice, but I prefer part 1 because it is more thrilling and has more suspense 'cause of the blurring branches.
I think the focus of suspense is to centred.
The diagonal branch on the left that cuts into the blur creates some suspense. But the whole stuff doesn't catch me.

Yeah the perspective doesn't create as much tension simply because you can't see the very sharp bottoms of the trees which weren't as affected by the severe winds. I know what you mean but I somhow liked the perspektive simply because it feels like sinking into the see with all the trees reaching for the surface while one is drowning - that's what the title comes from btw. Thanks for the comment.

Ah ok, good to know. The impression of drowning was s.th. I felt too, but I wasn't sure if it was a right feeling.
