    This is a strangler fig wrapped around another tree. The shape formed by the roots gave me the feel of some one weeping or sad...... Do let me know what you feel about this as this is the first image for me in this particular forum

    It does have an interesting shape to it, Ramesh. I think I see what you are talking about. Like someone is sitting with one leg bent in, holding their head down in their arms? Nice texture, and the light with the dark shadow areas helps to define the shape. Wondering if darkening the surrounding tree area a bit would help to further highlight the form and give it more impact.

    Interesting composition here Ramesh of the roots on the other tree. Brendan makes some good suggestions worth trying. I love when nature goes OOTB all on its own. Nice one!

    Hi Ramesh, welcome to OOTB! It reminded me of Arjun's Penance from Mahabalipuram relief sculpture... Good suggestions above. Well seen and captured! Looking forward to more from you.
