I love the lighting and the shadows and the branches and twigs of this tree Tracy. I am sure it belongs to the old house :)...this is a great black and white image. Thanks for posting :~)
This is a fabulous image. It puts me in mind of the fabled trees that talk. The contrasty black & white treatment has worked extremely well with this image.
Very nice picture! Quality is outstanding. Besides of contrast I like how you achieved semitones and details. Composition quiet original to, well done.
thanks to everyone for all of the comments. I am pleased that you all have enjoyed this. I know that I enjoyed taking it and working with it. I do love working in b/w.
