Description
Captured 2/2/15, in front of a local church, on my way home from our Dollar Tree store. This is a closeup of the same gnarled tree that I posted on 2/9/15.
I tried to achieve a 19th/early 20th Century pen and ink effect with the variations.
Original on top, just for the record.
Have a nice Valentine's Day.

Excellent Variations!!!
second image totally seduced me because it corresponds to what I wanted to see from the original image, and the second seems made India ink !!! variations correspond to my expectations! WELL DONE !!!
Outstandingly done !!! I love it also !!!
I love this, and every variation too; what a beautiful piece of work, Harry! Well done!
I like the wild variations here, Harry.
Yes, outstanding and detailed postwork. The second and third are both pen and ink varieties, and also etching-like. The second is pure black and white---I don't believe you have any grays there at all (and it's rare to see true black and white on this site)---and it's quite analytic and finely done. I love how the background is dissolved in ultra high key. The third returns color to the shot, and brings warmer textures; and it looks like a colored etching, with some very fine shadow work. Nice to end on that, after the pure black and white version. Finally the first---returning to the original: It's a finely textured, detailed shot, Harry, with real detail in the tree, and fine placement against the background. You got a very fine abstract-background, with that 3-toned wall (or walls): Amazing how well they divide into 3's, and how well they set off the tree. Your eye for composition and placement is as finely tuned as it's ever been, and this is a fine example. Excellent work on this, top to bottom.
