Lone Tree

splendid light and snow with the solitery tree make a real masterpiece bravo best regards gerolamo

Wow. Brian this is utterly lovely, exciting and completely original. The cloud texture so perfectly contrasts with the smooth snow-covered hills it's eery. How fortunate to have the one tree there as well. But then, I am taking too much away from the hard work and creative thinking that went into crafting this image. 7/7

Beautiful image!

Hard to believe such a place actually exists. A most unique place indeed.

Nice capture of the textures and coolness of the story. Well seen and shot.

Exquisite.  A single living entity in a harsh but beautiful landscape.  Perfectly framed and exposed.  The nature of the clouds adds so much to the look and feel of the photograph.  I think it's superb.

Simple but very effective composition! 

Impressive location and is for sure a lonely tree,is interesting how this huge space is seen and dimension feeling to viewer,all elements are so well balance here,no other words than admire and delight the eyes.

What a shot ... great contrast of lines and patterns. Did you try it in grayscale? It would be interesting.

Best,

Alberto

Dramatic contrast - great mix of rolling hills, cloud formation, and of course, the stark tree!  Very nice!

Great composition

Very well done.  congratulations

Excelletn composition with the details or texture.  Best Regards,

Great picture! But I still prefer the sky in blue color.

Blue and white go great together, but I fear a blue sky would overwhelm the presence of the lone tree, and the lone tree is the central part, indeed the primary reason IMO, of the photograph.  All white and gray, as Brian has shown it, emphasizes the tree to the maximum possible, IMO.

Lovely gentle curves, superb light and shadow, nicely balanced composition, and a striking sky, all add up to a brilliant image Brian! Awesome shot!

All the best,
Neil

Beautiful juxtaposition of the different textural qualities in the clouds and hills; for once the 'lone tree' is not a cliche but a bold statement of survival.

I missed this shot at first, but so glad I have seen it. Excellent composition and the exposure is perfect. Love the textures in this shot, especially the sky. Well worth a 7 best wishes William.

very effective composition
