Falling Out (Click to enlarge)

Falling Out, Growing Apart, Can't live together, can't walk away.

 

Well thats my take on it.....whats yours?

 

Your thoughts and comments are always appreciated. Thank You.

very dramatic! top-class!

HI Alf,

This marvelous scene can tell many stories.

It is well shot.

Technically, using the Nikon short zoom at F/5.6 continues to exemplify the quality of this optic and your skills in making such a nice composition and presentation.

Best Regards my friend,

Mike

My Take?Life has it's up's & down's & your image is just perfect, the two trees could not be better.The next time problems seem to be mounting up & feel like throwing my arms in the air & thinking,"What's Next? I'll think of your picture &have a good laugh.. Best Regards-Ross

The image, Lovely B&W with a full ranger of rich tones, very good perspective & POV.Like the sharpness through out the image & the black clouds add a nice sombre tone . Nice to see two trees surviving in a field of rocks.Best Regards-Ross

Very good work.

Hi Alf,

  Wonderful b/w image with beautiful lighting & details.  Take care, Patsy

I admit my interpretation is influenced by your title, but I offer... "Yes Dear, I promise to take the trash out next time."  Photographically, superb detail, tones and the sepia adds a timeless quality...  Good stuff!...  Mike

Wonderful work Alf!!!!

Outstanding post processing on top of interesting composition.

Really a piece of great cleverness and art, if possible a 7 here was "very right"!

Hi Alf,

great capture. Very cleverly composed. B/w fits perfectly here. I also like the stones in the foreground and the dramatic sky. Where is this place?

 

Best regards,

Alex

I don't think I have ever had a bad result with this lens, and it seems to be a perfect partner to the D800 as a landscape lens.

Many Thanks for your thoughts and positive feedback, much appreciated!

Very good analogy Ross, you seem to empathise with these trees extremely wel : - )

This area is known for its "Limestone Pavements"  which are in fact exposed area's of limestone that have been subjected to erosion from rain and ice over thousands of years, the one that can see is in the later stages of erosion, the rock having been split with the forces of freezing rain.

The trees seed themselves in tiny cracks and somehow survive, albeit in a stunted state of growth, but they last for years and years.

Many Thanks for commenting and twice too!

Very much appreciated!

 

Cheers Ross!

Sounds like a guilty conscience to me Mike : - )

But yes I can empathise with your analogy!

Many Thanks for your thoughtful feedback, much appreciated. I used "Nik Silver Efex Pro 2"  for the B & W/ tint  conversion and framing.

The location is near a place called "Settle" in North Yorkshire, England UK.  The higher ground in this area is well known for its "Limestone Pavements" which are in fact exposed area's of limestone that have been subjected to erosion from rain and ice over thousands of years.

The stones in the foreground are the eroded fragments.

Certainly I see a struggle there. How much is it between the trees and how much in front of the elements it is not clear, but both of these are there.

I also like your treatment of the edge that provides an age to the shot.

Hi Alf,  First I really like the composition with the tree in relationship to the whole image but more so with the rock formations. Your POV with the feeling of looking slightly upwards really gives the rocky foreground and the tree a stronger visual effect. Great sky and wondeful post processing.  Great Image with a wonderful kind of beauty.   Have a wonderful day!   Sherry

Alf ! very nice work nice composition-z/w colors and atmosphere best regards janegbert

 

Many Thanks for your views and thoughtful feedback. The PP treatment is courtesy of Nik Siver Efex, there are some quite nice little touches in that software package.

 

Cheers Tibi

The rocks and trees were situated on a small hill, I got quite close and used a wide angle lens.

The rock formations are known as "Limestone Pavements" this particular one is in the latter stages of erosion, and the rocks have crumbled into seperate pieces the results of thousands of years of water and ice erosion.

Sincere Thanks for your thoughts and positive feedback Sherry, much appreciated!
