"Do not be too quick to assume your enemy is a savage just because he is your enemy. Perhaps he is your enemy because he thinks you are a savage. Or perhaps he is afraid of you because he feels that you are afraid of him. And perhaps if he believed you are capable of loving him he would no longer be your enemy." ~ Thomas Merton

Powerful and creative work, love it's title ;O)
or a cloud that wanted to be a tree :)..... cool image my friend
Beautiful picture. Todd
You have represent the aspirations of the tree to the clouds perfectly!
excellently done!! RS
Don't know what I like more, the shot or the title! Great work.
Excellent, great idea and I like the contrast between the tree top and the cloud.
Absolutely fabulous Kort, this contrasts are splendid!
wonderful shot " you meet the enemy and he is you" say by a toon charator of the 1950's in the swamps man I forgot they names lol
Other than great contrast in this IR shot, it is so ethereal and full of ectoplasm that I really don't know what to say.
Strangely seen but creatively captured.
The cloud looks like it is challenging the trees to join him.. great image, Kort
LOVE the title :D
Great quote, and I love your title it suits your cloud capture beautifully.
Great title! Sometimes I want to be a cloud myself!!!
I reckon the title could work the other way as well, the cloud seems to be branching out ! Interesting composition and pink tree ! ~Cheers~ :o)
Seems like the tree fell in love with the cloud. Beautiful. Aloha
a beautiful dance......!
....very suggestive and figurative cloud...nice capture .
A fabulous shot of this beautiful looking sky! The structure of the clouds looks marvelous!!!
WOW!!! This is exquisite!!! Really awesome image and title!!!
What an amazing capture.
beautiful...
A lovely insight into the human condition! And a wonderful image to go with it..... I love how you have the wandering clouds and the way they disperse from all directions. Cloud watching, I think is just as fun as bird watching :) So lovely are the clouds, and I think its a terrific idea to show their greatness compared to the mere edges of what seems to be a very beautiful tree!
The cloud looks like a ghost. Very interesting.
Cool idea
Cool shot, Kort.
Great idea.
So powerful message,so wonderful image!
Tree? Hmmm... I see a monster, let me guess... I failed, right? ; P Awesome post-work! The contrast is wonderful! It really does invoke creatures!!
