Standing ovation

Well it looks like that to me, with the smaller trees left and right cheering on the one in the middle.

I'm going to try to join Richard's @vignouse monthly theme of SOOC: http://365project.org/discuss/themes-competitions/26200/back-to-basics-nf-sooc-2015

This is not shot with my 50mm lens, but is SOOC. In my camera I set picture control to Monochrome and image quality to JPEG and clicked away.

@overalvandaan Just enjoy !

[Lionel]

By the way, it 's been a long time I haven't seen your pictures... Please go on, it's always a pleasure to see your work !!!

[Saxa van Eijnsbergen]

@exouistitis ah, Lionel, that is kind of you, merci bien! I don't have much time with three young ones asking all my attention and work and real life in general.

[Lionel]

@overalvandaan I know what it is : I have 4 kids ! But I just moved to urban life erlier this summer, and I've changed house & work to live full time in the city : from now on it will be much easier for me to take street pictures, as I go to work everyday with my camera !!

[Saxa van Eijnsbergen]

@exouistitis ah, and we live very rural. I think we see more sheep than people :-)

Great capture Saxa
