very beautiful picture

KARAM

Spooky for the right time of the year.  Overall, great capture and b&w is adding to the effect of the picture. 

This is one of those images that is so enjoyable for its understated but strangely captivating elements.  It doesn't hit you over the head with its content or processing (thank goodness for that); rather, its charm sort of creeps up on you silently as you take in all the details and subtle tones.  I like that tonality very much--the warmth, the slight "flatness" of the tone curve, evident especially in the shadows in the lower LH corner.  The composition is very strong, too, with a pleasing placement of lines and of light/dark shapes.  The arc formed by the front-most tree makes the composition for me--a sort of renegade, non-conformist branch that breaks up the preponderance of straight lines with its sweeping curve and that also forms such a beautiful frame for the rest of the tree trunks.  This is a photo I could easily look at for a long time without growing tired of it.  A quiet but very compelling image.

Your variety of styles and approaches shows a thorough mastery of the medium. You move through the various genre with consumate ease. At least you make it look easy which is more to the point. This one has the feeling of a fine engraving.
