hi all,
after a long time I finally managed to make my first tree. it is not ready yet as I have to add the leaves. J ust to realise the method of adding a foto in a forum I put 2 fotos in my galery . As my camera is't a good one the quality of the fotos are very poor. If you manage to see them please tell me your opinions about. I will be back with better photos soon

Its a very nice shape. The color is hard to distinguish.
I'd like to see a shot from below to see the trunk. From what I can see you've got a good command of trees.

The tree looks good as far as I can tell.
A bit of a tip on photographing though. It looks like you have used aflash on your camera. Next time you may want to photograph in natural light, either outside or near a window. Be aware, however, that direct sunlight will make colours appear lighter than they are. Therefore you should take pictures in the shade or on an overcast day.
If you want to photograph details and closeups you need a closeup lens and preferably a tripod to steady your camera. You can also rig your camera on a stack of books or something as long as it is steady.
The trick to photographing models is good lighting and proper lenses. IMO of course.

Igi,
looking at the "thumbnail" it looks good. Any chance to post a bigger pic of your tree?

thanks guys,
Jonasaberg is right, it was a night shot with a flash and the camera was not a good one. Tonight I will try something else if not I will take a shot in daylight with another camera.
concerning how, the bark is made of dry donkey thorn ( is this the correct word ) and the branches are made of oregano. Now I have to add the leaves which are still painted.
I 'll be back soon with better photo I hope.
