The Tree

A shot of the lone tree in White Pocket. I decided to try a B&W version.

Let me know what you think.

very beautiful image

with good  composition

and B&W color!

best regards!

Wonderful photograph, Paul.  A single living tree in a harsh environment, nicely composed, and clouds to die for, all of these all make for a memorable photo.

Paul,

White Pocket!!!  Special place.  Very nice work in B/W.  Nice cloulds.  Hope to see your colored ones, too.  Best regards,

What a fantastic B&W Landscape, I love how the cloud looks like asecond tree. Excellent work Excellent processing.

Thanks Efim, Stephen, Wanghan, and Richard for your comments and kind words.  I posted this because I am thinking of entering it into a B&W competition.  Having read positive reviews here and in my Flickr, I will go ahead and get a print made.  Richard, I processed this image in Lightroom 3, then Silver Efex Pro, and then in Photoshop CS5, and then some final tweaks in Lightroom 3 again.  Thanks for your feedback.  Take care.

I would definitely get a print made, it's a wonderful image! The clouds are awesome and they definitely add to the image, almost symbolic of another tree. Very nice!

Thanks Ryan.  I already have a print made for an upcoming B&W competition.  All the best.

Unique location , composed and exposed just right , the sky is marvelous ! Bill

Thanks so much, Bill.  I worked on this one a bit in post to make it what it is now, but I feel the time was well spent.  Take care, and all the best.
