One of my top vote getters - I came back to this one several times. I'm a sucker for single trees and this one is particularly good!

I saw this on somebodies portfolio recently..and I liked that shot as it was. This raises the level for me seriously. Wow. The sky is magic with the clouds and sun/colours. Comp if I can recal the other one is stronger here than the other one. Im sure this is the same tree/photographer since the title would seem to imply previous shoots. Curious to see who this is. 8

lovely! the contrast between the grass and the hills is great and the tree ties it all together

Editing might be a tad overdone, but this is sooo cool. I love the dark cloud and the tree's fingers reaching out to it.

Spectaculr & dramatic. Elements fit together very nicely but the colors to me don't blend too well (could be only me), 7

A lovely tree, and a very complimentary sky to show it off.

pretty punchy...perhaps a little oversaturated
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Good processing on this, although the edging on the portions is a bit hard, and the HDR would have been better just a little more muted here. (although, granted that is only my opinion, and this is, no doubt, eye candy..).. With that being said, my "gut" reaction to the photo was very much a positive reaction.

I like the idea...the clouds look a little off though....cant quiet figure out what doesnt seem to fit in the photograph...perhaps the darkness of the clouds in the front?

The colors look great. The tree looks, to me, to be reaching for the sky. Nice work.

Great tree and colors.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
01/23/2010 07:46:12 PM
the layered, dramatic sky really adds a lot to this. i think i would have turned down the green saturation a smidge and let those dark clouds directly behind the tree pass a bit, but otherwise this is a very enchanting image.

Don't usually like enhanced contrast/colors but you pulled this off well

A great return to this tree Vlado...........Great composition and a great sky in the image.......The green grass is just a touch overdone on my monitor which might hurt the scores in a very strong field here. other than that, a great image and glad you went with this one.........not voting on it though!!

great tree and lighting on this one.

This is nice, but for me you've gone a bit over the top on the processing across the sky. The green area and the tree are well done, but the clouds, especially the yellow area and the ones along the horizon, have begun to look a bit weird.

The other telling factor is that the area behind the tree is much smoother and appears to glow in comparison.

Too much HDR for my liking.
