Lonely Tree on Enchanted Rock at Sunset

Very nice colors!

Great depth and compositoon Steve. By the way Peter and Gabby saw the Astros beat the Cards last sunday in St Louis. My son even came back with an Astros hat.

 

Great foreground lighting and clouds. Nice one Steve!

Thanks very much, Igor, Peter, and Steven.

 

And Peter, which team were you rooting for in that game?

The Astros. Really, I cant root for the Cards unless they are playing the White Sox.

It's just a shame that the Central Div. is so darn good this year, top to bottom, that there will be no chance of it having a wild card team in the playoffs.

my suggesion -maybe should be more sharpness.?

I sharpened it a little more, Bartek. Please let me know what you think.

i think that is better.

Thanks, Bartek.

Comments and ratings greatly appreciated!

Simply awesome....I agree that the colors are magnificent and very well composed. The black border/mat was a nice touch. Would make a great poster!

 

7/7 & 7/7 :-)

Wonderful colors and lighting, Steve.

a lovely photo... I too have been there...

What makes the diference is the timing of your shot: the cloud prolonging the reach of the tree into the sky...

Good lighting on this little tree.

Makes me want to be there, Steve--wherever it is.

Forgot something, didn't I? This photo was taken from the top of a large granite rock formation called Enchanted Rock, which, not so surprisingly, can be found in Enchanted Rock State Park, Fredericksburg, TX.

I cant believe the Cubs pulled this one off Steve. Has Dotel been stuggling?

Yes, he's been stuggling badly. After tonight's game, his ERA will probably be around 3.5. I expect Brad Lidge to be closing by the end of the month. He's young but seems to have the right stuff and great confidence to go with it.

Lidge is awesome. Dotel needs to be a setup man

They are greatly appreciated!

And I agree, Peter, that Dotel should be moved back to setup man. He was comfortable and effective in that role.

Lovely image. The strong angularity of the tree contrasts nicely with the wispy salute of the cloud....

SWEET! The composition Is just wonderful! Really like the cloud formation and ofcourse the tree!

Congrats 2 a GOOD Photo! Regards/
