Only the Lonely

On my way to work I spotted this tree on the waterfront and thought it would look nice in black and white as there was very little color in the surrounding landscape.

Many thanks for your comments and favs, always appreciated.

The starkness of trees in the winter up north are just gorgeous! I could do a study of nothing but bare trees, I think they're so beautiful!

Super b&w shot, composition

[Richard Sayer]

I love the simplicity of the background and your perfect B&W processing - I like less that we can't see the base of the trunk of the crown of the branches... with these included, it would be perfect.

I like this b&w - there's something different about bare trees that is so appealing - very nice composition.

It's still looking a bit icy and cold up in the North Country! But the pictures are still wonderful!

The shot works really well in b&w. On black the light on the water really pops.
