NN really doesnt like these trees of mine.
The first one bores her, the second is over-processed and also boring.

I can't say anything about your trees Rufus, thery are not in big size in the gallery. It would be unfair to say something, judging by the little pics you have here... :|
Apr 2, 2005, 13:45
Could it be that you're getting carried away by photoshop, Rufus? 

Apr 2, 2005, 15:04
Yes
Apr 2, 2005, 15:32
Ok, #1 is a little photoshopped but the tree is very nice. It's telling me things.... "Come on Irma let me give you a hug"
I like it, seriously... well, with a little less makeup would be better

Irma, before you hug a tree that has been tampered with by Rufus, make sure he hasn't done anything else than photoshopping!

Perfect! I really like the bark of the tree. It has a very nice pattern... Tks Rufus

Hey guys,
Here are three contributions of mine taken in the last 36 hours. Not sure if they can all be classed as "trees", but thought I'd throw them in anyway.
Cheers
Adrian

Frustrated! :x
When the sun came out, for ONE DAY here in the UK, I tried to shoot "trees." Mostly, the pics were *****. That is to say, I didnt think a lot of them. The two I quite liked, and posted, were savaged by NN, (here at home), as a pile of ****.
Anyway, the point is this: I also shot 50 images of a bird thing taking insects to it's nest.
I was gutted at the results of my, (unusual), patience in getting these images, when I saw the poorly focussed results. Bummer!
Anyway, guess wot? NN likes them :o (Typical women. Unpredictable and fickle).
So, here's one now. Say what ewe like, I jus' dont kare!

Agree with Irma's cloud behind trees -- the clouds are spectacular!

Rufus, they are cups from fast food restaurants.
From left to right.
Sonic, has about everything. Hamburgers, chicken, breakfast all day, hotdogs, and ice cream. Really good shakes.
Chick-fil-a, has chicken. That is it, but it is my favorite fast food place. If you are ever in the states and see one go. Much better than any other fast food joint in every way. I have never had bad help their. Always friendly and happy. BTW not open on Sunday.
Whataburger, hamburgers, chicken, breakfast, and good shakes. open 24/7. I love the fact that it could be 3 in the morning and i can go sit down in side. The only fast food place that you can do that at around here.

It's a long time since I was in the states, but I'll never forget Hooters. It's all about chicken and chicks!
I loved the chicken wings there, I really did! The waitresses out of the Miss World Calendar didn't make me feel uncomfortable either.

I always liked Jack in the Box in Hawaii, because you could get fish and chips.
