Well cropped beautiful landscape with the interesting shape of the tree and the bit of mountain in the background forming a very pleasant scene...together with the low-light colour of the veld, of course. Excellently well done.

Bonjour Erdem,
magnifique photo de savane, bien nette et détaillée un document précis sur la flore de l'endroit et ses difficultés à s'implanter, beaucoup de profondeur.
Regards.

Hi Erdem,

You have cropped the image very well, I like the warm temperature and the colour tones. The tree ofcourse makes an excellent subject of interest and is placed very well from a good point of view. The sight of the mountain creeping from the top of the clouds is just perfect and really completes the composition.Could you have saturated the sky a little more and squeezed more blue from it to match the strenght of colour in the foreground? Just a thought. Thanks for sharing.

Regards,
James

Bonsoir Erdem
Belle image, sensible avec un brin de mélancolie a travers la brume. Mais l'arbre est là pour montrer qu'il faut rester tenace face aux éléments et a la vie.
