Beautiful comp! Amazing sky, great choice for b/w. My only recommendation is crop off just a touch more from the sky. I feel a longer panoramic type frame would best suit this. Cheers!

Well, if you say that...! ;-)
Well it is not only interesting, but really great, amazing! Such horizon I see not every day.
Very well senn and composed.
ps. I see even our Lord exact in the middle on the top of this picture!
Did you have see him too?!
Thanks for this "holy" composition.
I use them as my favorit!
Cheers, Don.

I wouldn't crop much from the sky. Then I suggest to take a little from the ground instead...
Amazing sky and it is awesome in bw!
Truly a dramatic shot well presented, not a everyday motive!

Very fine silhouette, well handled sky.

A very fine silhouette and a magnificent sky! I think there is a repeating pattern somewhere too ;o)

I just like to crop a little on the the bottom.

Bonsoir Nicolas.
je n'aime pas particuleierement le n&b mais je dois dire que ce ciel et cette rangée d'arbres sont grandis par ce choix.
j'aime beaucoup

Woua ! c'est superbe ! j'adore la composition bien scindée en deux parties, par la lisière d 'arbres en ombre chinoise; la masse sombre et homogène de la colline et ce ciel de folie.
très graphique en effet mais très beau !
félicitations
Pascal

Very fine composition and with a great sky - I know a place with a few trees on a row - but it can't compete with this great place - thanks Nicolas.

Hi nicolas - wow. this photo is really amazing. I agree that the b&w makes this photo even more dramatic. There is so much contrast, and you have neatly tied together the ethereal sky and the material earth with your treeline. What an opportunity to catch something so beautiful.

excellent, très forte impression graphique entre l'aplat noir, le rythme presque musical des arbre et le tumulte du ciel.

I like it very much. Especially clouds look very interesting and B&W is a good choice.

smoothdude (266) 2004-09-27 15:03

wonderful picture you took here. It reminds me almost of El Greco's "View of Toledo." great picture!

I like the sillouetted trees--both shapes and their undulating manner on the hill. Your sky is dramatic, with lots of tones. Great shot!

SophieL (6030) 2004-09-28 3:43

Effectivement, ça change de tes précédents clichés, mais c'est tout aussi spectaculaire. Effectivement, la ligne des arbres est très graphique, mais en plus le ciel est somptueux, dramatique à souhait, un sentiment augmenté par l'utilisation d'un N&B bien contrasté.
J'aime bien les nuages du bas qui donne l'impression de venir caresser la cime des arbres puis repartir ensuite vers le ciel.

Great sky and trees... the uniformity makes the photo. Did you take this as a black in white with your D70, or convert after?

dovi (1068) 2004-10-11 12:22

Very very nice indeed, the clouds forms look as enlarged trees itself and integrate very well with the trees line, B&W is perfect here!

Bonsoir Nicolas,

En effet, très intéressante cette rangée d'arbre !! Le choix du noir et blanc est parfait pour les nuages ! Juste un petite coupe sur la droite pour s'arreter aux arbres et c'est parfait !

Merci pour cette spectaculaire composition !

An amazing composition with this indeed very interesting line of trees ! The b&w gives a great touch to the clouds ! Would just have cropped on the right. Thanx a lot!

Youssef.
PS: after sending, I saw the WS... Well done Ebbe !!

Ca s'est une photo avec laquelle j'arriverai à apprendre d'un point de vue technique, merci !
Le problème pour moi se situe entre la pompe et l'inspiration, c'est pas évident quand on a peut-être la possibilité de refaire une photo, d'arriver à se l'approprier sans copier...

Merci de ce superbe cliché en tout cas et pour cette ambiance !

Bonjour Nicolas,

N'aurais tu pas pris ce cliché al estrecho de Tiquina ? C'est effectivement très marquant cette ligne d'horizon arborée, des eucalyptus je crois, qui surplombe l'étroit bras du Lac Titicaca à traverser... Me gusta mucho !

Hi Nicolas.
Fantastic black and white but even better capture. The horizont and the sky are simple great.
Thanks for share.

lucinka (9920) 2005-12-16 5:18

Nicolas, what a stunning combination of great sky and landscape. B/W makes it even more dramatic. Well done. L.

Very atmospheric picture. Well done.

Hi Nicolas,
the way you shpow this line of trees is just perfect. B&W fits here also - to show this very dramatic sky. Well seen and well done.
regards,
Jan
