Hi Joseph! Thank you for your very kind comment, I'm well, but I have a new dog and in this moment I am really busy (excuse my english). A hug! Ciao!

Excellent black and white landscape!

Sir Joseph, Dramatic and perfectly composed. Excellent photo! Regards, Doug.

You are not only a great photographer, you also achieve with your words captivate many people who appreciate you as a friend. You wont be like the tree in your picture, you will be in a lush forest surrounded by friends. Congratulations. Vicente.

The pov is perfect. It looks like a guardian of the hillside.

Great lighting and contrast, Joseph!

 

Warm regards,

Wonderful DOF, contrast, tones, and composition. Very nice!

Excelente,Joseph.Magnifca composicion y encuadre,con una sensacional luz y atmosfera captada,asi como un estupendo b&w.Felicidades.

 

No me deja puntuar7/7.como se merece.

 

Un cordial saludo -Tolo.

An elegant B&W capture indeed, that carries an extremely high level of evocative content with it.

 

Love the solitary tree, "dancing alone", as they say. Not sure what else I could add that's not already been said, so I'm left to succumb to my mind's eye.

"I can almost feel the grassy hill beginning to slope slightly upwards beneath the soles of my Dr. Martens walkers, as I stroll parallel to the fence, with a soft wind wafting at right-angles to me, and across my face, from left to right. The sky warns of an impending deluge approaching.

 

Still, I switch off my ipod and allow myself to be fully immersed in my surroundings for a few more minutes, before turning around for the long jaunt back home."

 

As usual, maestro, a grand slam home run with this one. Awesome tones, with varying levels of contrast, from low, mid to high.

 

This is the kind of image you blow up to 24 by 36 and hang up with pride.

 

Best regards,

looks to me like you took this in some very hard light conditions given all that black in that tree and while I would have preferred some more detail it works, mostly because of that very good composition

Beautiful, interesting contrast on the tree. Well done.

Great b&w image, Joe.... I may say this is a colorful b&w landscape! A feast to the eyes....!

Thanks so much to all who've taken the time to comment on this shot. I am very grateful. Warm regards...

Hi Joseph,

 

This is indeed a lovely composition, excellent for the imagination. It seems to me that the blacks on the tree are just a bit squashed giving that area of the image a flat (board quality) look. Still quite a nice image. .....Sherle

Nice b/w vertical composition. Good work, Joseph. Regards!

Very cool composition! That gnarly-looking tree is just priceless and really fits the scene well. Good black and white conversion too. Nicely seen and captured; and a wonderful tribute to one of our favorite photographers here on PN! Cheers! Chris

simple but fantastic. great composition

Best regards

Wonderful composition, Joseph, great light and texture. Congratulations!

A wonderful image with very high dynamic range. the light is great and I love the fence disappearing to somewhere - perhaps paradise.
