Thank you for making this. I love trees. This tree truly is sad for he is a face looking as such.

a wonderful feeling about this…

This is the reason why I love B&W photography so much, the contrast and strenght in the tones without color are magical. Great capture and a well balanced composition. Nice work!

i love it
though it doesnt communicate death to me.
its telling me to life, even if the life obstacles try to break u.
this tree didnt crumble.
it even produced a beautifully looking crown in the end.

great shot Donald – what a tree and composition !

Well done on another feature, Donald. I was up at Milarrochy the other day (photographing the tree of course) and one of the rangers asked me why everybody wanted to photograph that tree. I told him “because it’s there” .. but I thought “if you don’t know, I’ll be wasting my time trying to explain”.

Donald – just gorgeous. Love the BW and eerie feeling!

Stunning image.

So perfectly beautiful! Love the poem also!

Perfect shot.

Superb photo.

all awesome Donald !

Great image Donald….inspires me to get out this winter and try to capture some trees like this, showing all the skeletal detail.

You hit a home run here! Superb subject and background. Your whole portfolio is excellent. I will go thru it when I get more time….

Stunning!

This solitary figure stands strong and fearless in a harsh and unforgiving environment. To me it is a picture of inner strength and testament to self survival. Your words add poignancy to the image. Good one matey.

The softness of the distant hills really makes this for me, lovely!

Outstanding Photo! great poem!
