Old Cedar Trees - Pastel


This group of old cedar trees were full of character 
and a good subject for studying colour 
in the landscape 
as well as light and shade.


I exaggerated the light areas
 in order to create interest across the picture plane
and used the pink, turquoise green contrast as a colour scheme.

I perhaps made the trees too evenly spaced - 
the arrangement of trees is more interesting in the photo.
Maybe next time!
