A tree located within a row of trees on a hill in Waterfront Park Louisville, KY. The trees were planted as part of a boundary for an amphitheater. The photograph was taken mid-day and later converted to b&w.

Very nice range of tones in here, Chris. I like the shape of it and also your offset. That sky looks creamy. Nice work.

Thanks Cindy! I could tell I was on to something when I was there taking the shot but to get the right mood took some time during post processing. Tricky.

Wonderful work and I can imagine this as a feature piece on a very posh wall somewhere.

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust

Thank you everyone for the wonderful comments. Its own of those shots where you immediately notice the strong lines and can't wait to frame the shot. I actually only included half of the tree because it was one tree in a line of threes running along the ridge and to make the shot stand out I had to exclude the others. By playing with the lighter and darker tones and the different temperatures of the shot I was able to get the sky to "come alive." Looking at the original photo by the human eye it looks more like a clear blue sky but through post processing and changing the tones you can really bring out the thin clouds hiding up there. Thanks again!

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
