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 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 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...

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