Commentary

Having manufactured some eucalyptus trees for the first image, I got caught up in the texture of the bark and remembered walking through the eucalyptus grove at the west end of the Berkeley campus early in the morning as the fog cleared. As before, the tree trunks are rectangular selections filled first with a gradient made using colors selected from stock photos of eucalyptus, then overlaid with jagged triangular selections made with the polygonal lasso, again filled with color. Once colored, I distorted each trunk using the distort>wave filter. The sky is a stock dawn gradient. The silhouetted leaves are a modified stock photo reduced to black.
