Widmerpool Trees ~ 7 by seanoneill

Widmerpool Trees ~ 7

A shot from monday's trip into Nottingham. We came back via a garden centre and that brought us home past the trees at Widmerpool.

I am not entirely happy with this one because of the shadow and light on the field, but I do like the sky. Needless to say there are going to be many shots of this landscape in the future, it appeals to my eye!

I am tempted to do a several year project of this place, shooting every 3 months and ending up with a 4x4 collage as the trees grow. I would appreciate any thoughts.....
Love those lines in the dark part.
I like the idea of a seasonal collage. Always wanted to try it - never found a location for it. Looks like you have. :)

Now that is thinking ahead and would make a fantastic collage I think. I like the field here, it emphasises the highlighted track/road leading the eye to the tree lined horizon and of course that wonderful sky.

Oh but I love it. Such fabulous processing and a perfect scene. Fav!
April 16th, 2014  
Fabulous view.
April 16th, 2014  
Well, I certainly like it. The tracks break up the dark foreground and are an incredible lead to the trees. Wonderful horizon and sky. Fav again.

Big fav for me. Something I would put on my wall.

Great shot Sean. I like the way the clouds on the upper left is balanced by the track on the lower right. It might be even stronger if the trees had a little more bulk (leaf). But you could return many times before you got a sky like that again.

Fabulous picture!

Fav for me! Love it!

its so cool , and i love the idea of watching them grow

Stunning capture, Sean. The composition and tones are perfect. Also, the collage idea is a crackin' idea.
April 16th, 2014  
Sooooo good.

I like the collage idea and the shot. Simple but very striking. I like how the trees demonstrate the vastness of the sky.

A stellar B&W...beautiful capture.

Another fav. Love the composition. You can probably fix the shadows on the field you aren't happy with with a few layers? I would love to see a several year project of this spot, it seems like a perfect location for it!

Love the line of trees...beautiful!
April 16th, 2014  
fantastic imagery.
April 16th, 2014  
Fav! The horizon and the road are dividing up the rectangle in smaller rectangles following the golden ratio. Fantastic! Was it on purpose or did it simply 'feel right'?
April 16th, 2014  
@hjv Felt right Huib, though I knew the track was there so it was on my list of shots to get.
April 16th, 2014  
@seanoneill Masterly shot and proving that the best camera in the world is the one you have with you.
April 16th, 2014  
I ♥♥♥ this line of trees - would never get bored of photos of them. Golden ratio perfection.
April 16th, 2014  
Those silver lines are great at drawing your eyes to that perfect row of trees.....fave for me,
April 16th, 2014  
I like the leading lines and the composition very much.
The idea of a montage depicting tree(s) in each season of the year is a project that appeals greatly to me and I can quite see why you're drawn to making one with these trees.
April 16th, 2014  
Love it. The contrasts are sublime. The line of trees a delight in form. I really look forward to seeing this idea blossom for you.
April 17th, 2014  
brilliant - the clouds the contrast of the foreground - a beautiful composition -fav
April 17th, 2014  
Dramatic and effective shot. The idea sounds good too.
April 17th, 2014  
This is a great image, I especially like the line of trees on the horizon. Great composition and cloud effect.
April 17th, 2014  
I think this is a super shot - simple and effective.
Like the idea of shooting the landscape over a period of time. Would every 3 months show a great difference in growth of the trees - perhaps a longer interval would be needed.

Excellent, love the light track leading into the horizon. Fav
