    Sole...

    Dear fellows,
    I visited some mountains and rivers this weekend. This is an image I came up with. I saw this tree on a mount and it conveyed, to me, a sense of solitude. How do you like it? Thanks for viewing. C&C welcomed, as always. Regards,

    It reminded me of some of Donald's work although he usually does them in B/W.
    I like it. My imagination is already forming a nice little story to go with it

    To me it is very lovely and strong. It seems to me the solitary tree out in the open is a recurrent theme, but I think this one is exceptionally nice.

    Very good composition. One quibble; I think your post-processing added some black halos atop the clouds.

    Terrific composition!

    Consider backing off a bit on the darkest blue tones, as they seem a bit too heavily polarized and distract from the subject.

    I like it. It reminds me of my old home town in Western Pennsylvania. There was a hill and a tree just like that on a farm next to town. I used to take my dog out for a walk and when we got to the end of the road we would run up that hill as fast as we could and collapse there. I would lean on the tree and Cinders would put his head on my lap while I looked out over the valley to the steel mills and thought about getting the hell out of town as soon as I graduated.

    I still love the town and the people but I sure didn't want to go to the mills.

    Hi, Nancy. Donald is a great photographer and I am glad that my work reminded you of his! Thanks for your feedback.

    By the way, here is a Monchrome version of the same image:
