Lone Tree

I wanted to rush out to take photos in the early morning fog today but chores kept me home. I was so pleased that there was still a hint of fog to give the background a dreamy effect this afternoon when I had to run to town.
This lone tree was actually quite ghostly, but I loved the way it popped off the page with a simple auto fix in Photoshop Elements. The sky haloed the tree at the same time as an added bonus while the background remains hidden in the fog.

That downward slope in front of the tree is the added value for me.

[Joe Ciras]

I like the solitude of the tree and the curves in the clouds.

[Sally Ings]

Lovely simple composition, very moody atmosphere

[David]

I like the composition a lot, Wendy, but I don't see the 'halo' as a positive. I have noticed that I can sometimes get an effect like that with over-processing, but I wouldn't know how to create it deliberately.

VML the sentinel grasses in the foreground. For me, they take this shot to a greater level, adding edge.

[Brett]

A great silhouette!

[Jenfurj]

Such a beautiful, ethereal feel and focus. Looks great on black. Fav

I love this Wendy, particularly the sense of isolation, fave.
