9th February 2015 - Fallen Tree

After my walk with Finlay at the country park I drove around the lanes looking for a tree which i thought would look good in B&W. I pulled over by this field as I saw there was also a fallen tree. I am annoyed with myself as I was concentrating on the reflection in the puddle and chopped the top of the tree in every shot!! I will have to go back!!

For F for February and Flash of red

How lovely to wake up this morning to find this shot on the PP! Many thanks!

Excellent - I love how the b&w highlights the tractor tracks. Fav!

Fantastic tones in b&w. Just say you intended to chop the top of the tree off. :-)

[Catherine Pace]

wonderful composition pam

[Nicole]

I know the feeling! next time just take a few minutes to take in the whole scene and imagine what you want to capture, that usually helps for me! Nonetheless it is a beautiful b&w!!

I can see what you are going for. That is a really nice shaped tree.

Great you can find a lone tree. Hard to find here. Love the light and tire treads.

[Gena Pegg]

Lovely scene...great textures with all the tire tracks and the fallen tree. Such beautiful lighting on this Pam.

[Kristina Olsen]

this makes for a very interesting b&w

[Taffy]

Heehee! I saw the shot and thought -- it's perfect except for the cut off tree. And then that's exactly what you said. Definitely worth going back -- it's a fantastic tree and overall composition and would be wonderful to have just as you'd want it.

[Jo]

It's still a lovely shot and works really well in B&W.

[Elisabeth Sæter]

Wonderful shot.

[Issi Bannerman]

This is a lovely shot. I love the comparison between the live tree and the fallen tree and all those muddy tyre tracks too. Super textures and great overall image.

[Poppo Livy]

OK That's pretty good - for a B&W

[Stephanie Swift]

Love the detail and comp and don't find it a problem that the very top of the tree is not there. Fav, and congrats on the PP appearance Pam.
