This has a soft mood with the excellent color and texture of the ground contrasted with the pale but interesting sky. the tree just belongs there. An excellent composition and image.

I agree with Michael, it's an excellent photo. I could stare at it for days feeling better and better. =D

This is even more striking than the first, and I think the composition -- centered as you discussed -- is even more powerful this time.

I'd like to see this in BW.

Wow! What a shot! Really gets me thinking!

I thought your other shot of the tree was great, but wow! I agree with GJC, this is a much more powerful image. The tones are excellent. Great storytelling image. Very well done!

I like the darkness and the lonelyness of this image

I like this image. You've placed the horizon in a good place. It is a theme I have worked on in the past. We sometimes overlook the isolated subject, whether that is a tree or an individual. Here is a link to a gallery I have called Standing Alone. Well done, Ron!

The gentle sweep of the landscape really adds.

Yup, I think this has the edge over the earlier posting perhaps because it allows more room for the rush of thoughts to wander around . . But, as with the earlier image, it is the solitary nature of the tree that makes it all work. Very nice.

Very well done romantic, warm coloured photograph, giving a deep feeling of loneliness and depression to me... Wys

Wow, talk about lone trees! It feels very dark and gloomy, you must have been up early to get this one!

Very nice. It looks even lonelier further away like this.
