A field in Northern Greece taken in 2009, near the Albanian border. Nature's gifts are endless. Appreciate comments, especially on how to improve my work. Thanks.

I wish I was a Glow Worm, a Glow Worm's never glum, 'cause how can you be grumpy, when the sun shines out your bum?

Very dignified in its quiet solitude.

Long before the white man and long before the wheel, when the dark green forests were too silent to be real. Lightfoot 1967

I like this very much, the solitude of the lone tree set against the landscape was a well spotted take. Not sure if you could have done a tad more sharpening on it or not. I like it my friend, your doing a good job. tigs=^..^=

It's like this landscape image is touched by your magic wand, Vicki.
Tranquil and wonderful!

Placing subject items like this tree off center allows the eye , mind , to move around in a photo more easily , you don`t get stuck on the tree per say. This photo works well for me nevertheless and emphasizes the sky and subtle colors in the field..Fine photo.

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB

A beautiful shot with that tree against an "active" sky with lots of cumulus clouds.

Very nice shot, Vicki.

As a suggestion, and here I am not sure which image editing program/software you have at your disposal.. check out the following tutorial, time and opportunity permitting:

"Faking the HDR thing..."

I hope you don't mind, but, to give you an idea of what could be accomplished.. notably.. opening up the shadows some.. have a look:

"Still..... and serene......" - Shadows/Highlights Adjusted

And to be clear, the end goal is not to replicate or simulate an HDR image.. more so to and reiterating.. open up the shadows some.

That said..


Had your image here booknarked to come back and place some words, share some ideas and suggestions. It caught my eye when you uploaded it and here's I finally be.

It's a great addition to your galleries.

And, but of course.. thanks for sharing this one with us.

A nicely composed image and good capture of the scene, Vicki. I might have cropped the bottom quarter portion of the scene out. I agree with purmusic about the lighting/shadows adjustments that could be made to create a more dramatic scene.
