I like that kind of simplicity. Minimal, eyecatching, pleasing. The gentle tones and low contrast, all except for the dark shape of the tree, make a great image.

Really not keen on the titling in the frame. If simplicity is the aim of the photograph, to me it is all undone by the words - shouldn't the picture speak for itself?

Just my thoughts.

Jean Christophe posé, sans ligne de champs qui fuit... j'aime beaucoup cette image en noir et blanc, et si j'avais le tps j'essaierai bien un cadre blanc pour la faire ressortir autrement,

bonne journée à vous

Hi Jean,
elegant presentation of lonely tree.Great W&B work.Congratulations.Necla.

Jean Christophe
Belle composition noir et blanc avec une impression d'isolement de cet arbre amplifiée par le ciel nuageux auquel tu as donné une place prépondérante dans l'image.
Amicalement

Très jolie composition et bon travail de contrastes.
Le ton jaune est intéressant quoiqu'un poil trop prononcé à mon goût.

bon travail

Hi Jean!

Really nice picture! Composition is perfect! Very professional work!

Regards,
Edward

Very simplistic photo - works well especially in B&W.. Unusual to have such a small central object - totally breaks the rules but it looks great!!

Good work
Bon journee

Hello, Jean Christophe -
Fantastic composition. So much great space around the perfectly centered tree. Soft effect on the still-dramatic sky. Monochrome really enhances the feel. Very nicely done!

C'est tout simplement génial !
Centré avec intelligence.
Un arbre en plein no men's land... BRAVO.
Un ensemble minimaliste de haute voltige, la gestion des contrastes b&w est superbe, et le ciel.... GRANDIOSE.

AMitiés ;-)

Nice work Jean.

Simplicity and beautiful shot !

congrats
Branimir

hi Jean, simple but very eye-catching, wonderful composition..

how about a little more contrast? you can barely differentiate the field from the sky? a bit more detailing in the tree might have added to the image. overall fantastic presentation. tfs, take care

regards,
Mayur
