Peeling Skin Photo

Photographer’s Note

Here's a picture of an Arbutus tree on Saturna island. This is about as far south in Western Canada as you can get. This is also about as far north as the Arbutus tree gets.

Arbutus trees have bright red bark, with green skin underneath. The bark is paperthin, very dry and constantly peeling.

This photo is completely unaltered.

A well thought-out perspective & angle on this photo, and a very interesting Note to accompany it. Funny what you learn on this site! Good work Mike.

Hello!
Really enjoy this shot, shows perfectly the glorious colouring of the arbutus trees.
Only thought is perhaps cutting the bottom off slightly to have the DOF be crisp so the foreground is less distracting would give it more impact.
Hope to see more of your work!
