Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards.

Great picture! Spooky and moody...reminds me of the tree in the movie Sleepy Hollow.

Pierre, you already know that it is an excellent b/w. I think it could be a "training" picture to us all on the rule of thirds. You exotic tree dominates the left third. Its branches giving our eyes diagonal movement to the left and right. The backlight is perfectly soft bringing the tree even closer to us yet.

I love this ... old oak trees have so much character. Excellent capture Pierre & nicely presented in B/W. Faves!

That old tree has character. I like the way stands out from the background.

There are three colours, Ten digits and seven notes, its what we do with them that’s important.

Oh PIerre, this is lovely! and the drama the b&w puts into this photo makes it even more so.Here in Oregon we have many Oaks such as this one. There seems to be something so special about all of them. I love the way the light is coming thru the other trees and the touches of shadows.Thank you for a beautiful photo my friend.Verena

Living is like licking honey off a thorn.
Very 3D like. And that is indeed a good good thing ... as well as, an impressive visual accomplishment.
Love the B & W.
It appears that you shot this under some challenging lighting conditions Pierre. And yet, the tonalities throughout are amazing.
Really well done.
I love trees. Just ... do. And the angle you captured your photo? Works very well in terms of leading lines. Well balanced by the gentle sweeping curve of the path.
Very nice work. And but of course, thank you for sharing this one with us.
+favs for me.
In fact, I have been playing around with your image here in Photoshop. Experimenting with adding some colour with the Replace Colour adjustment.
Thought I had commented before ... apparently not. That situation has been rectified now. :o)
Thank you for sharing this one with us. I enjoy it a lot.

"Think what a better world it would be if we all, the whole world, had cookies and milk about three o'clock every afternoon and then lay down on our blankets for a nap." - Robert Fulghum
Hi Pierre. Love the compostion of this. I'm guessing you spent some time setting up exactly the right angle to shoot this from, as it seems that a wrong approach would've resulted in a less than optimal capture. You've nailed.
One thing, and this might just be a difference in creative taste, are what appear to be the absence of any bold, strong black levels here. Just wondering how this might look with a bit more contrast to it.
All in all though, a wonderful capture.

Please, even if you don't visit my gallery, check out my "Faves".I've left them intact since day "1", and would like it if every image there got the attention they deserved.
Hello Pierre....I like this picture very much....You have captured the large tree beautifully....Well done Pierre....All the best to you...Mick.
