Lonely Tree

On the shore where the world begins
I planted a feather that was green
and blue, found in the forest.
There it stood now,
boldly askew in the silvery-yellow sand,
a lonely tree in the desert.
While high above me
the great birds were sailing,
laughing, laughing.

--from an anonymous internet poet

Merhaba Aysegul,

This is splendid view from field. Wonderfully yellow colored grass at ground creates strong contrast with cloudy sky. Your lines and lonely tree must be bonus. Congratulations.

Best Regards,

Parbo

Merhaba Aysegül hanim,
semsiye gibi bu yalniz agac cok güzel Afrika'li gökyüzü altinda duruyor. Sol yandaki dallari resimden kesmek daha iyi olacak. Yazdiklarimi anladiniz mi? Türkcem pek iyi degil. Elinize saglik.
Selamlar

Hello, very nice view in great Africa. I really like it. The sky is just fantastic and this lonely tree gives a great touch too. It is like a painting. Thanks

Terrific cmposition. Simplicity is the dominating factor. Only I like to see more sharo one.

Good shot, simple composition. I like the colour contrasts, but the image needs cropping on thr right, the stray branches let the image down.

Hi Aysegul,
Simple and appealing. The sky covered with very rich clouds makes great contrast with the sombre tones of the ground. You also placed the tree perfectly in your composition :)

Merhaba Aysegül...
Gizemli ve heyecan verici Afrika'dan mühtesem bir kare... Savananin sari tonlari gökyüzünün beyaz bulutlu mavisiyle cok güzel bir karsitlik yaratmis... Bakis acisi ve derinlik de cok güzel...
Ellerinize saglik...
Saglicakla kalin..

Hi Aysegul. Less is more, as they say. Simple is striking. This single tree merely conveys the vast flatness of the Serengeti plain under the scudding clouds. The subdued colour of the grassland at the bottom makes the loneliness of the place more stark, and the tree is perfectly positioned in the composition.
Regards,
Andrew

Hi!
Those lonely trees are always nice elements to shoot. You composed it thoughtfully, my only wish is there shouldn't be those branches at the left - they're distracting and the tree is not lonely anymore.
Regards,
Seb

Hi,
Incredibly good pic !
POV and framing are great.
I really like the sky texture.
A great one.

Hi Aysegul.
Very nice photo to ilustrate the poem (the contrary is also true, of course).
The sense of desolation and infinite is impressive.
I would just advise a little bit more brightness and sharpness and perhaps eliminating the branches on the left.

Hi Aysegul,
wonderful scene! Excellent colors, composition and POV. I like it!
regards ;-)

Merhaba, şahane bir kompozisyon, bulutlara bayıldım, tebrikler

Excellent Landscape shot. It looks like the prairie lands of America.

Best regards,

Rob

Hi Aysegul, how beautiful. Lonely tree with the great unusual cloudy sky. Great shot. I always am attracted to cloudy sky a lot, especially the unusual one like this. Great. Sothy
