Life of the Tree..., a photo from Istanbul, Marmara

Photographer's Note

Aya yorgi'de çekildi.Aya yorgi kilisesinin bulunduğu tepe hayli yorucu bir yolculukla aşılıyor.Bu ağaç orada adeta rüzgarla savaşıyor.İnsanlar altında yorucu bayırın ardından dinleniyor.

I take it in Aya yorgi.The hill that we climb to Aya yorgi is very hard way.When we arrived Aya yorgi,Tired people were resting under the tree...

Hi Oncel,

what an impressive b&w composition. There is a nice and attractive graphical apealing and I'm sure the tree has part on it. I also like the inclusion of the lonely person who brings more drama to the scene. It's a very nice seen!
Regards,
Carlos

Très beau arbre juste avant qui se recouvre du feuillage vert, on l'imagine bien.
Belle prise, sereine et calme, les gens se reposent déjà en profitant de peu de l'ombre que l'arbre donne.
Amitiés;

Hello Oncel,
Usually I don't like b/w photos (just because I can't make them myself :-). But I am always very impressed when somebody manages to make great shots like this one. The shape of the tree is perfect, and b/w mode emphasizes its contour.
I would only suggest to add a frame to this shot because white sky in upper left corner needs some border. TFS!

Regards,
Valentyn

insan unsuruyla güçlenmis bir kompozisyon.
sadece agaç ve altindakiler olacak bir hali harika bir eser olurdu!

Hi Oncel,
Very nice shot, I like it very much, good choice to make it black and white. the top is a bit bright, but it work very well, the way the light falls on the branches of the tree make it looks like snow. I can see very well the pattern and wave of the water behind the tree. good job, in this case, since you photo is smaller, it maybe a good idea to frame it with a simple blanck or white frame for a better and strong imact.

dear Oncel,
a beautiful B&W image with fully ambient of calm soul,
the still tree shows us the time itself indeed,
and another feeling of POV too,
quiet and deeply touching picture, thank you,

Hello,

The B&W is perfect to evidence the lines of all the branches. It was the good choice for this photo.
My only concern is about the top of the photo perhaps a bit too white.

Yves.
