This is fabulous. I love the textures and the subteleties in color and composition.

@GJC: When I took this I was thinking of the work by the photographer Thomas Joshua Cooper.

Never seen more beautiful twigs in my life, it's superb Richard, I'd be beyond thrilled to have taken this!!!!

@Lorraine: Sometimes there is something in a scene that is beyond the obvious, like an unwrapping of the mask of everydayness. This was one of those moments for me, so I had to try and photograph it, to capture whatever it is that manifests itself in these moments.

@Rags: Its just the way they grow on this type of tree, but I'm glad they do grow like that.

A very mysterious mood, almost frightening... but i like this bare tree.

@Evelyne Dubos: Thats a beautiful comment, I guess it touched me the same way, like seeing something beyond nature, a mystery unravelled in the gloom and tangle of the encroaching branches
