Photographer’s Note
The photo
Some of you already know that I love to take landscape photos. Always an eye open for seldom situation, for the special landscape. Here I found just a lovely tree alone in the dried fields and a sky fitting perfect into my seek.
Post Processing
The photo itself was already fine, the sky was good exposed, which means I did not split the photo in different layers. I just made some corrections in the lights and shadows and increased the saturation.

Wow, i like the message. And yes, you are right. I have already found one. (I posted a photo of it to TE: Hungary/East/Heves/Matraszentimre-Falloskut) This one is also amazing. Regards, Jalab

Allô Saki!
C'est la première fois que je parcoure ta très jeune galerie, bienvenue sur TE et c'est un très beau début. Cette photo est simple mais l'arbre est bien mis en valeur par le bel éclairage devant ce beau ciel. Bonne composition et superbes couleurs.
Félicitations!... et bonne continuation,
Emilius

Γεια σου Σάκη,
πολύ ωραία αντίθεση του μπλε ουρανού με τα σύννεφα και το χρυσοκίτρινο χωράφι. Όμορφη σύνθεση με το δέντρο να κυριαρχεί.
Χαιρετώ, Βασίλης.

Hi Saki
It's nice to see you back here.
I like the simplicity of the 4 elements - sky, cloud, tree and grass and the way the colours contrast. Looks kinda 3D.
Regards

Hi Saki,
Oh do I see here a comebacker !
Nice landscape where the image dynamic leads to the upper right corner, pffff terrible weather conditions, not even worth a HDR ;-)
Have a nice evening JY

Welcome back Saki!
Great photo - the composition, the colours, the fantastic sky. This landscape almost reminds me the south of Portugal.

Welcome back, Saki! This is a simple but strong compostion taken in perfect light, I particularly like how the cloud repeats the form of the tree.
Cheers

Welcome back dear Saki,
Actually u were with us all time with unforgettable taste of your extraordinary beautiful photos. Those photos which most of them you added your soul and heart to somehow...sometime cheerful, sometime rebel, sometime sad, sometime lonesome, and many others but always sensitive, thoughtful, full of sense of humor...TE was like a mirror for you to reflect your personality to us that i liked so much. Therefore i was sure, oneday u would reappear again on TE. So, this time i first added you to my favorites before too late.
Now a few words for this "personal tree"(most probably more than few! lol)
"Don't be scared.
I'll tell you our story.
In the beginning there was Chaos.
In the beginning there was Chaos,
and then the light was made."
These were last words we heard from little Alexandros. Behind the veil of mist the two children find the tree of their destination, and at the end little Alexandros tells his older sister Voula the same story from Genesis that she told him at the start...in THEO ANGELOPOULOS'S master piece "ΤΟΠΙΟ ΣΤΗΝ ΟΜΙΧΛΗ"(Landscape in the mist).
Two special landscapes one is by my best favorite movie director "Thedoros Angelopoulos" other is by my favorite in TE "Sakis Panagiotopoulos".
If you don't mind i want to add another a very very special photo to me as workshop that was dedicated to me by a very special someone earlier.
Best Regards and love
