Description

Where trees go to die.

In El Salvador, after they give us their fruits and some wood, when trees become old, they walk at night, silently and slowly until they find a river. There they lie on the water, and let the stream carry them to the sea, where they die peacefully and become wood sculptures.

Picture taken in “Barra salada” Sonsonate. El Salvador.

This picture is dedicated to my dear friend....Lenz Weber....Phryneas...

the buffalo and the seacow... you know I liked this one, thank you carlos! :)
great dynamic background, the wind in the palms, the clouds and the bird - everything adds together there, great picture - nothing to crit, not at the time. maybe I will learn again to see flaws even in such a perfect photo but my long absence from gfxartist has made me forget that skill... and currently I have too much to do to be real active :/ but I'm trying, really!

The colors are really amazing!

You are in 100% control of the light and colors.
This WITHOUT HDR!

I know a bunch of gfx:ers who would do this with HDR and you do it without!

That is what makes you unique amoung us all!

Felicitation! (thumbup)

This is very beautiful. When I saw it, I though of HDR but moserArtist says you didn't use it, so: how do you took this shot?

Neat subject, colours and composition. There's even a vulture in the sky.

Wonderful! It is like a pasture of driftwood. That bird in the sky is also a nice little touch that worked out nice.

Wow Carlos, I think moser wants to have your baby :p

@  nazgulled: Most likely gradated adjustment masks.

Nice shot (thumbup)

No masks!
Just some tricks I learned from my dear friend Lenz Weber. (Phryneas)
(My son Eremita and I added another postprocessing steps)
Thanks to you all for the comments.

Nice composition Carlos. I find the black bird a little distracting, but nothing from the image! Great work!

beautiful presentation! driftwood can be very artistic subject
I too am one of the few who finds the bird a bit distracting to the subject, altho it fits perfectly into the comp.
