Bit of a cliché, but I have always liked stark, leafless trees against

the sky. C&C valued!

Yes I have to admit I'm a bit of a sucker for the lone tree against a skyline scene too.

I particularly like this one because it has the added attraction of the gate and fence.  I wonder if a slight tilt downwards to the left would leave it looking a bit more balanced?

Nice b&w, and the composition is perfect.

Alf, thanks!  I gave your suggestion a try, but at least with my software, I then don't have the driveway entrance, which I think is part of the story. Actually, it works as an entirely different picture with that done and a square crop -- isolation.  Thanks for getting me thinking. All the Best, Sandy

Bela, thank you! I always appreciate your comments.  BR, Sandy

Add me to the list of suckers, I can't resist lone tree shots either (it's just hard to find a "lone" tree in our part of the country)... Mike

Mike, thanks for commenting! I was back in NY / CT in May for the first time in decades - it was so overgrown compared to what I'm used to.  The South must be quite a tangle. Best, Sandy
