An ancient evergreen in the Creekside Rainforest. If only it could tell us about the life it’s had…
Note: The image of this tree needed to be a close up for viewers to see the tree’s details, colours, and textures. I chose to include a distant, out-of-focus background on the left of the tree. I felt this places it in a forest with leaves and ferns. (and I did edit out a small but bright yellow/green branch in this area— I wanted the viewer’s focus to be on the ancient tree. )
Note 2: The screenshot below (on my very mature 27 inch iMac) show my working screen.
I also use a secondary ‘distraction screen’ (not pictured here and a not-quite-as-experienced MacBook Air) for watching the Olympics on the side).
