Natural weave very elaborate. A good document which highlights the strange forms of nature.

I do not know if it can be classified as macro ... That said, I find the picture very interesting because it highlights perhaps be more natural and visible to all, depicted in its essence. The articulation of the branches form guidelines that draw the eye to get lost in the picture, recreating a feeling of grandeur!

I'm sorry but I am not convinced by these reasons:
-Blurred
-Overexposed
Pasty-
-Iris open too
-Perhaps micromossa
-Colors
-Dominant
It 'true that the frame is "functional" but the true image loses quality with these micro-sized
I suggest in the future to opt for at least 1024 pixels on the longest side. hello and good light, laurel

@ ElleEmme: thank you for your candid and honest criticism. Let me just talk back to them in an objective way (then the taste is another matter): the lack of sharpness and PdC is due to jpeg compression with 380 kB max. required by the site to upload images. Photos with many details and a few flat areas are less compressible and still having to comply with the required size (380 kB) need to increase the compression ratio, which has the obvious consequences of the loss of sharpness, the "softness" of the details, the ' effect "shake" and the introduction of color casts. Opt then, as you say, for a larger image can not, in the case questionnaire, which worsen this phenomenon.
I say this because the picture was taken on a tripod, Live View Remote Shutter speed and aperture to f/16 and view on your monitor at 100% is extraordinarily rich in detail and sharpness.
I'll tell you more: this photo is an HDR, as shooting from belowup under the canopy of an old oak tree there is a high contrast between the sky and the flashes of dark branches, not adjustable in its entirety by any sensor without sacrificing something. I opted for this technique to obtain a deliberately "painting" of the complex web of branches, emphasizing at the same time the texture of the bark. This work therefore has an intentional base that is more "graphic" and "natural" in the strict sense.

Hello, Alberto.

I really like the balance with which you have filled this frame. It is not easy nor obvious, indeed. The number of branches, their shape constantly changing, the leaves, everything comes together to create a frame potentially messy. It is up to those who know how to frame the shooting spot where the "disorder" becomes ordered and I think you succeeded. In this context, it seems to me quite obvious that the intent was not that documentary.
Hello
PS I tried myself a shot from the bottom to the top of branches and leaves (Japanese screen). Not knowing the HDR technique I must be had to make other choices and point to an even more graphic. If I'd like, your opinion would be appreciated, I really appreciate the way you photograph.

Alberto ot excuse but then all the photos shown in this forum should have a fearful loss of sharpness due to compression.: fconfuso: sure there is no alternative or some step to optimize? hello and good light, laurel

No, ElleEmme: compression depends on the complexity of the scene in terms of color and detail and the JPEG compression algorithm behaves differently depending on these parameters. The photos shown in the forum are not all as you say. However, seeing is believing. If you trust tell you that the original image is as sharp as the lens + camera with can make all the necessary arrangements.
I invite you to read this article anyway: www.juzaphoto.com/article.php?l=it&article=10

Alberto excuse, it's not like I did incorrectly, use the "save as" instead of "save for web"? I'll tell you why the first two pictures I had posted in the old method used in image shack I were downright nasty having to lower the quality of jpg even at 6-8, using "save for web" I can push even 80% in the box quality ... and the file remains below the pre-measures ... I'll tell you why the same defects known written by Lauro and I came this suspicion, it is true that in the images of birds are less details in the frame, but landscapes in the frame is full and I see very detailed and sharp photo ... it was just a question ... let me know.

Having never used a ff do not know its performance with 24-105 mm closed F.16, had already read this article Juza, Alberto? :

Mmulinai Hello, thank you for the keen observation! :-P I have to confess that I too have done your own path, discovering the difference in "save for web" than saving in jpeg traditional. I think (but I reserve the right to verify) that this photo was just one of "those" cases which I then resolved with "save for web" ... I'll know more on this post.

Hello, Alberto.
