Wow that is realy cool were it looks to me like the bark has been scraped away it doesnt even look real. nice pic its a 10 for me

wow - that's a nice slip and fall my friend! def a 10.

Thank you Jon and Tracy:-)

Great photo.

Thank you Matt:-0

Wow.. looks like a tree growing out of a...tree.. :-D Great shot, and some great luck for you finding it!

Agree with the others. Is this tree sick?

Beautiful,agree with the others comments.

Thanks Ric and Pierre. This is a normal healthy Arbutus, Pierre:-) They all look similar with the bark peeling off.

10/10, Darryl...and I hope you didn't hurt yourself in the falling-down part. =)

Thanks Mary, I have a few bruises. Could have landed in the lake 10 feet down the cliff with my camera Hehe! Guess those horse shoes came in handy eh!

Nicelly done Darryl.
Very good work.

Wonderful fall.. i mean image. 10/10 and into my favs.

Sooo, like anything you take a pic of, turns out this good?

Yes? Well, I need some portraits done, you busy?

Really nice colour saturation, interesting perspective, great composition (as always) ... and and and ... I hate you ... really really really kidding on that.

There, I just completed my tour of your galleries and I am glad to end on this particular image. It is not your best, but, still ... it is above most. And that truly is a compliment.

Thank you so much for your time and effort ... and for sharing your gift and enthusiasm.

Nice, the color of the tree mixes very well with the blue sky, it's very relaxing. It also makes me want to go climbing. Nice job. I would have liked to see it with the branch vertically centered in the photo though. Cheers!

hehe Sometimes slipping can be a good thing! Nice shot. ^_^

what a wonderful shot! ... and the colors are simply stunning.
it's definitely a 10. it's in my favorite folder now.

Interesting tree. It looks very like a eucalypt. Glad the camera was not damaged.

interesting vairation on rule of approximate 1/3rds
1/3rds dont have to be all horizontal!
super sky emphasising the obvious cold

That's awesome! I love the colour of the sky and the layer of snow covering everything. Good thing you didn't hurt yourself during the fall :) (or did you :S). Anyway, great result :)

Hey Darryl! Congratulations on your Artist of the Week recognition. It is certainly well deserved. Just thought I'd stop by and check out something of yours I haven't seen before. This was a pleasant find! You did a nice job of capturing this, especially in the midsts of suffering head trauma. I love the rich colors, the surreal sky really makes the shot. Congrats again and keep it up :)

Well, here is another one I missed when I went thru your gallery. This is a simple photo, but unique in it's color and content. I would say maybe you ought to slip more often but we wouldn't want to see you get hurt. Maybe "Somebody" dumped you on your arse to show you this pretty view.
Well done.
Pat

very beautiful I like it

fantastic clarity

Is the bark stripped from the tree by your finger nails on the way down? glad you wern't hurt but a true photographer sees a picture regardless of where he is or how he got there
