3 trees

An image I originally submitted in 2006. I've reworked it a bit, love to hear

your thoughts!

Tim this has to be one of your best! 7/7.

 

 

Pedro.

I really like the original, so I was a bit tentative about reworking it. I'm very pleased with the results though. Thank you!

Tim... I don't recall the original posting, but I don't see how it could be better. This is excellent... Mike

 

 

Some might want to see a white point, but I think you are just right as far as your zones go. Hey Tim, this is truly sublime and I think there is room in my favorites for this beauty!

This is a beauty,I did not see the first version but this is so good. I like the winding furrows that leads us to the receding 3 trees, very nice B/W conversion and atmospher of nature with a human touch.

Excellent work!

Nice composition
Best regards

Thanks so much everyone for all the wonderful comments! Hope you all have a great weekend!

Simple and beautiful... the number three is the magic number in this composition... 3 (elements), 1/3 (horizon) and 1/3 (the protagonist).

Tim, Tim, Tim...

 

This is amazingly awesome! This may, in fact, be one of your most artistic images to date. Mark G. is right in that some may want a white point; I might have tried; but I think you probably have it just right. You could probably even 'paint' a little contrast on the up-slope of the those gentle hills and achieve a bit more separation; but then again you could leave it just as it is. What about a touch of space for the tree on the right side and the frame? Okay, okay, okay, I'll shut up now. Man, I love this, Tim! This is sweet! Cheers! Chris

A wonderful work! Best regards.

Thanks! I really appreciate the comments.

 

Chris - This was one of the first photos I took with my Oly E-500 about three years ago. I always liked the shot, but my processing was still in an infant stage. I've learned a lot from all of you and felt confident enough that I could revisit this one. I agree with what you and Mark have said about the white point and I'll tinker with that, I just don't want to lose the dark and gloomy "feel" that I remember it being that morning. As for the field itself, I'm afraid to touch it anymore. It took me quite a while to get this result. I did lighten a patch in the foreground to help it from feeling too "top heavy"

 

Thanks again!

I can only echo what others have said Tim - very fine image.

 

Congrats, David

I too must add my vote to this very good photo. Great work.

 

Regards,

Holger

I thank you both for your visit and kind remarks, have a great night!

Wonderful composition! Great shot!

Well it's all been said... I would hang this in my house and proudly!

Thanks guys!

traditional landscape but delicately done is always striking. You've really brought out the most Tim. Terrific job.

So good to hear from you, it's been too long!

Great Work !

Thank you Renar!

When I think of the prairie, I think of lonesomeness, of thoughtfulness, of quietness. I remember working the fields, trudging through rows of corn from treeline to treeline, quietly thinking about anything and everything. This evokes all those old memories.

Great comment, thanks Jeff!
