Still alive Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

Français/French
Cet arbre est toujours vivant malgré son allure. Il a encore sa place dans la nature un peu comme les gens malades dans le monde. Il est presque à l'hiver de sa vie malgré son jeune âge. Le tas de roches témoigne du passage d'agriculteurs dans les années 50 qui les ramassaient pour libérer les champs cultivées des ces entraves.

English/Anglais
This tree is still alive despite what it looks like. It still has its place in nature like sick people in the world. The heap of rocks testifies the passage of farmers in the Fifties which collected them to release the fields of these obstacles.

Bonsoir Denis,

La prise de vue permet de voir les détails et les couleurs de cet arbre chétif. Les roches cadrent bien l'arbre. Le ciel nuageux envoie une lumière qui rehausse les couleurs de l'image. Bonne soirée.

Hi Denis
A nice simple composition that tells the story of survival. Very well executed. I am disappointed with TE in that there are too many ads flashing at me but I know they have to pay the bills. Unfortunately many of my favourite photographers have left or are thinking of switching to TL. I have been considering this for a while as I do have other subjects that I'd like to post from time to time and maintaining two sites is too much.
Cheers

Phil

Bonjour Denis,

simple and attractive compositon. I like the combination of the blue and green and how framed the persistent tree. A well executed minimalism, well done!
Regards,
Carlos

Jolie comparaison... il est de ceux qui s'accroche à la vie ! Quel tempérament !
En tout cas, belle compo avec l'arbre sur le côté qui se dresse dans le ciel dans toute sa fierté.

Merci pour votre visite Denis.
Ça prend de l'audace pour grandir en sol ride!
Malgré le manque de vitamines il vivra quelques années de plus car il a encore du toupet!!
Amicalement.

Hi Denis,
As usual, great POV and colours, making this banal landscape and the not so healthy tree look gorgeous. I like the reflection on your note.

José

Hi Denis,
The stubborn little tree stands out prominently on the rock hilltop.
The lush green hill contrast brilliantly with the vivid blue sky.
The rugged heap of rocks testifies to how hard the farmer's life was.

Hi Denis,

The tree is just barely alive and the framing of the tree against the blue sky with the green grass rolling up the hill too it, Wonderful job on the lighting and sharpness Denis.

Best regards
Jason.

Bonsoir Denis,
I like the way the tree seems to be emitting the clouds. The green and blue makes a harmonius background.

Denis,
This is a nice landscape shot! The rocks and bear tree provides nice points of interest. The lighting and colors are great with excellent sharpness and detail. The jet streaks provide nice lines trough the shot.

Hello Denis,

The naked tree stands well against the blue sky!
It is probably not a good location, as I don't see many leaves this late in May...
A pleasant composition that emphasises the subject well, and giving some surroundings to tell the story!

Greetings,

Hallo Denis,
a nice composition and fine colors in this shot.
I like the clouds seeming to go out from the top of the tree.
Good job.
Ciao
