Untitled

the uniform pale sky and snow covered ground suit perfect as a stage for this battered fellow. The space you left above the tree emphasizes the loss of its crown.

In fact, I bare trees are a subject I keep returning to myself - for their fractal shape and allegoric character.

Wolfgang,

I am glad you like the image. Yes, I tried to give the old tree room to breathe. Horizontally that was not quite possible, so I went with the square format and gave it plenty of space to grow. I might return to it and take more images throughout the year, which might be difficult because it is towards the end of a driving range on the local golf course. But then I like to shoot in rain and fog, so there might be a chance.
