Mm, okay, that makes sense...I must have tested it on a photo with weird compression the first time. The other ones are turning out more like I expected; thanks! Hopefully I'll get some good shots tomorrow--it's a winter wonderland out there.

"Arboreal" is an adjective...so is it supposed to just be like trees, or do pictures of actual trees work for the theme?

The idea is that it's pretty much anything to do with trees: branches, roots, whole forests, the sapling in your back yard, things living in trees, things climbing trees, leaves (if you have them in your part of the world at the moment), lanscapes with trees in them. It's very much open to interpretation, so long as those who will end up voting can see that it's somehow related to or representative of a tree(s).

im in, sounds interesting, and i've already got a pic lined up which i took last month. Not sure how well it'll do since some of you guys sound like you've done a lot of nature photography...

I have got one. Not great, but for a 14yr old, it isn't too shabby.

One question, where do we view them?

Battou · Feb 9, 2009

At the beginning of next month a thread will be posted with them all in a gallery.
