Photographer’s Note

Taken during my recent drive/hike along the rural roads not far from Chico. Spring is in the air and short lived greenery of California is at its best.

Hi Pranab,
You are enjoying A100 by capturing these beautiful landscapes of California. You kept this tree off the center and this is why this is looking nice. Good colors and contrast.
Thanks for sharing.

Hi Pranab,
A tree is really in it's glory when its leaves are new. Your photo conveys that glory well. HLJ, pat

Hi Pranab.

A smart composition with the tree and the mountain. It's a nice introduction to the Spring.

"i think that i shall never see...a foto lovely as this tree..
a tree that looks at God all day..and lifts its leafy arms to pray...fotos are made by fools like me, but only God can make a tree"...

Hi Pranab, nice capture of this tree and its "friend", its shadow. Lovely green area. Pity you couldn't catch the whole tree, probably worth another try if you are in the area. I found the barbed wire somewhat disturbing, so I took the opportunity to prepare a WS version. Regards, Daniel

Hello Pranab,
A nicely composed image of the lone tree in the meadow.. many shades of green, good sharpness of details.. the small hill balances the image...

Hello Pranab,
In the air and on the ground. Lovely photo with typical spring colours. I like a lot the tree, its colours and the effect it creates against the sky. The shadows on the ground and the view of the hill are also very nice and complete well the scene.
Cheers.
Paulo

Hello Pranab,
That is a fine compo with nice green tones, good light, layout is nice with lone tree and hill well framed and placed in the picture. Good sharpness of details... Maybe the barbed wire could have been cropped... but that is no big deal!
Greetings

Hello Pranab,
A beautiful tree!
It is amazing to see how the tree resembles the shape in the landscape...
I notice the great colours your new camera delivers, also sharpness is top class!

Spring is in the air here too. Do you get to see Palash trees over there Pranab Da? They are in full bloom here. Alongwith the hillock its the shadow which makes this picture for me.
Best Wishes

Hello Pranab!
Such a wonderful spring countryside!
Classic composition with the lonely tree is great with their shadow on the grass!
Very good work!
Best regards!

Merhaba Pranab, my friend...
The tones of the green are perfect. Wonderful point of view and perspective too... The light, the shadow of the tree and the atmosphere is also perfect... Of course great shot and composition...
TFS...
Stay well..
Salim.

Dear Pranab
A simple compo, but so beautiful...a pity that you couldn't capture the whole of the tree, maybe a step or two back would have helped. I like Daniel's WS crop. But the shadow of the tree on the green grass, can't beat that for the beauty it creates.
Regards
Angshu

Hi Pranab.

Simple but good composition where you placed very well the tree in the left side.

Well done.

(also the colours are very nice)
