What a lovely scene, Agnieszka!
Orange colour of the ground is magnificant and well opposed to stormy skies behind/above.
Great green colours on the tree, maybe a bit oversharpened?
Dobro drzewo! ;-D

Very nice composition with somptuous light and colors. The scan is not perfect, but the picture qualities are sufficient to make it a great shot. Well done ! Maybe a little explicative note would be enjoyable!

beautiful shot, the tree looks so out of place there on its own, and the contrast with the sky is great.

Unfortunately the sky looks a bit grainy, but as you can see from my WS this is easily correcte with neat image.

Well done, although some kind of description would be nice!

Nice composition indeed... Alone before the storm. The lower left corner is a bit dark, why?

Nice photo. i like the idea but i find the photo a bit grainy and out of focus specially on the tree and on the right side are blurr. i removed the grainy in my workshop, hope you don't mind

Czesc Agnieszka.
I love the photo, wonder if the quality suffered due to the scan or the original turned out this way.
Anyway I love the colours, placing the tree in the middle is just fine in this case, the tree looks so vibrant and pretty, yet lonely at the same time.
It maybe may monitor, but the top left corner of the sky looks a bit overexposed, and as Gemme mentioned for some reason the right side is darker.
I like what Sayzey did in his workshop, simple and effective dreamy look, you may consider applying a bit of USM after noise reduction.
Bardzo ladne zdjecie!

Nice composition and great colours. good applying of 3rd rule. By combing all the latter the photo is simple but very effective & dramatic. You lost some quality though with scan, grainy an dblur on the right. No note, would love to hear from you

Great image - simple and well framed with the horizon 1/3 up. The colours are rich amd mix well.
Perfect.

Muy buena foto Agnieszka! Excelentisimos colores y relacion entre tres cosas en tu foto. Un poco me molesta arbol que esta en centro de fotografia. Felicitaciones!

Bardzo dobra kompozycja. Osobi¶cie przesun±³bym obiektyw troszeczkê w prawo by obj±æ ca³y cieñ rzucany przez to drzewo.
Na temat nieba pisa³ ju¿ sayzey, ja tylko sobie pozwolê na ma³± uwagê, ¿e chyba niefortunnie u¿y³a¶ filtra polaryzacyjnego, no chyba ¿e siê mylê.

Great shot. A beautiful scene.
Its a pity that it was not sharper and there is not much of a note.

annetruro (2) 2004-11-29 17:37

Wonderful photo, captures the scope and the land and the intense colors. Would be helpful to know the time of day, it feels like late PM.

Agnieszka, cet arbre est magnifique dans sa solitude sous ce ciel menaçant. J'aime les couleurs du sol en opposition avec celles du ciel. Le Ws n'est pas mal non plus.

Very cool composition, a bit noisy maybe, but that sure can be fixed, as the workshops show

Cool stuff,

It is a very good shot.The tree really represents the lonliness. The colour balance is very nice and the sky ,Dramatic.

Gratuluje udanego zdjecia. Ktos juz o tym napisal /i chyba zrobilabym to samo/:przesunelabym kadr na tyle,aby zdjecie objelo caly cien rzucany przez drzewo. Poza tym zdjecie na prawde nastrojowe. Wyszly Ci genialne kolory-takie, ktore zawsze kojarzyly mi sie z Afryka:)))
Gratulacje i pozdrawiam

The title for this image is perfect, Lonely. Your point of view is appealing. The rich colors are very compatible. Love the lonely shadow!

ahhow (116) 2006-06-01 0:14

Although some said that never put your sudject in center, but this photo is great for me!

sortep (483) 2006-08-23 17:58

HI Agnieszka,
Your shot of this subject is very beautiful and well captured.
The colors make this tree feel really lonely and at the same time the shadow behind the tree gives it purpose to see that the sun will shine again. Perhaps a small suggestion, This lovely shot deserves a note to explain it.

Cheers

Very nice composition, but not good focus for me.

Nice photo.

The image quality could be better, there's too much noise.

I would have placed the tree a little bit to the left, for a better POV and to include all the tree's shade...

Was this scanned? Both sides of the photo are a bit too much out of focus, specially the right bottom...

Why is there no note? That is something that bothers me... TE submissions shouldn't be done without time, patience and dedication. TE is about sharing knowledge, and not just photos...

There's room for improvement but still, it's a nice photo.

Hi Agnieszka, I find this s very powerful photograph. The sole tree symbolises resistance to adversity. The 3 colours and detail work well. Wonderful work. TFS. Murray.

Nice pattern and colours of the sky. But I think positioning the tree a little to the side instead of dead centre may look better. Or taking the shot in a siting position may give more variation to the shot.
