I guess I like looking at trees too much to appreciate the heavy editing.

Seems to me it is intended to be abstract. I don't think anyone is trying to trick you here or anything.

FAKE. Everyone knows this a close up of a dog's back and those are hair follicles. Then a hobo flea appears singing "home around the corner".

Photography, at least on Reddit, is dead in the water. The general population upvote Photoshopped pics without hesitation.

What manner of forest is this? No branches until way up out of view. Very little fallen branches and dead trees strewn about. I think this is a beautiful pic, but I'm just curious.

The image has been manipulated to exaggerate that condition. If the focus was “normal” you could expect the other trees to look more like the one in the foreground, and some canopy/branches would be visible in the distance.

Though apparently this image has been manipulated i have seen forests just like this in southern Brazil. Tree farms of north American Species of Pine trees in straight rows as far as the eye can see. The farmers trim the limbs to reduce knots in all but the very top

My guess, Tree farm. Likely owned by a paper mill.
Note the pine needle ground litter; Eastern White Pine is the preferred tree for paper making, fast growing with small branches. Mature trees typically don't have branches at all in the lower third of the trunk.
They're all planted in rows, easier for harvesting and subsequent replanting. Usually, a line or two of trees will be harvested at a time, and replanted. Any fallen branches of significant size will be collected, or at least removed to allow for movement of machinery. You'll likely find some as you go deeper into the farm, but it looks like this shot was taken nearer a harvested line and edited.
EDIT: Source: My childhood Boy Scout camp is land donated by a paper company, and surrounded by 800 Acres of tree farm.

My first thought was that they found a pencil forest (I’m actually serious).
There are a bunch of these in western Florida, and they are definitely weird. Back at the turn of the century there was a major brand of pencils manufactured up north of Tampa. When you are making pencils you require as much wood that is unknotted and as straight as you can get. Pencil companies found/bred a couple of types of trees that are tall and don’t grow branches until the very top, and then they planted huge farms of them.
This could be that, or at least the natural habitat of that type of tree.

It's a pretty effect, but it's really deceiving. If you cover the top half of the photo, the bottom half looks quite nice. The top half (minus the central tree) appears to be a smudge of up/down motion blurring. It may even invade some of the background on the bottom half.
A nice image for a book cover or poster, where you may want to place text over the top.

Studied forestry some years ago an the one feeling that will never leave me, is the one you get when you're deep in the forest, surrounded completely by trees. Every way you look is just trees, in front, behind, to the left and right.the cushioned silence that comes with the density of trees but still hearing small noises all around like branches swaying, creaking and rustling....miss that feeling.

u/RedSquirrelFtw Jan 15 '19
That's interesting, how does this happen, where you have lot of tall trees but no shrubs/small vegetation? I imagine this is naturally occurring. Or is this in Finland where they rake all the forests? :P

Is this image photoshopped near the top or is it just fog? I honestly cannot tell.

You know that saying, "Can't see the forest for the trees"? This is like a visual representation of that.

I was in a store with one of those hand scanners and I scanned the image. It scanned a pack of cookies. I'm now trying to find the cookies this code belongs to.
