Taken last year when the geese are around. I hope you think this qualifies.


A bit of an update as to why you do not see me around much. Due to getting a pneumonia a couple of years ago the flu is just hanging on due to a spot on my right lung. Just when I think things are better its back down again with fever. So very little computer time. I hope more rest will do its work.

I very much like the composition of this Dot, and the panoramic crop - it's amazing how many people don't think to crop their photos!!

Well taken.

Ciao Dot


Beautiful scenery, I can see that
the ice melted and the trees already dried
is designing a beautiful visual landscape
with your branch.
I hope you have good improvement in your flu.
Take care, be very careful.
Greetings,

Sergio

hello Dot

I hope you get better soon...

looks like this tree had enough winter and snow almost all year long, nicely placed, i like the contrast of its bare branches against thegradient in the sky and of course the geese are a big plus here.. and the creative frame... beautiful contribution for this theme..

get well

Bonsoir Dot,

Jolie contribution pour le theme de la semaine. Belle image bien composée et bien présentée. Compostion équilibrée, bonne netteté, exposition juste. Et la présence des outardes vient ajouter de la vie dans cette scène dévatée par l'hiver. Du beau travail.

Alain

Dot
Cet arbre isolé qui semble surveiller les outardes est du plus bel effet. Belles couleurs chaudes;
J'espère sincèrement que ta santé s'améliorera vite et que tu pourras de nouveau être plus présente parmi nous.
Amicalement
JJ

I was off work for a few days this week with the flu...uggg...I think we need more sunshine and warmer temperatures to chase these bugs away. A very pretty picture, I like the tones and the tree has so much character! TFS

A wonderful contribution to the theme. Good colours and a lovely image. Well done.
Best wishes,
Achim

Hi Dot,

That tree certainly stands out Dot. The brown scene and the bare tree, and the geese - well put together
Janice

Very interesting image Dot. The tree stands out well against the pale tree sky and the geese are a plus. I like your creative framing too. Hope you feel better soon.
Pat.

Hi Dot,
It looks like this tree has had a rough past, as if the top was chopped and the new growth now shapes its canopy. There is something majestic about leafless trees against the sky.
The shot is framed perfectly and the natural colors look great in the soft light.
Regards,
Matt

hello dot

superbe ce solitaire qui à l'air d'être das un desert tellement il y fait sec
superbe effect de ces oies devant l'arbre qui y viennent manger et se reposer
beau boulot

Bonjour Dot,
Belle présentation au thème d'aujourd'hui,
Excellente composition avec ces Bernaches au champs et ce magnifique arbre dénudé, jolies couleurs et nettetée,
Excellent cliché
Bonne journée Michel

hi Dot

I hope you are getting better and speedy recovery from the flu.

This is a wonderful POV. You really apply a great composition skill to show this tree-with-no-leaves as your key feature subject here and decorate it with the birds and surrounding landscape. That is photography at its best for you in presenting this view. The color tone naturally shows the seasons of the year here, unless our evergreen in Borneo.

Great work.

tfs, bill

Hello Dot,

Excellent shot with great perspective!
The colors are great and the frame very well done!
It's a very good contribution to the friday's theme!
Congratulations and TFS.
Sergio

Hi Dot
Pretty nice composition of this combination of warm colors and lonely tree.
The frame makes it even better and more eyecatching. TFS

Hi Dot,sorry to hear the flu bug is still with you,wishing you well & a speedy recovery if that is possible.
Your image more than qualifies,good for you to make the time to upload it,well done.

Hello Dot,

I am so sad to hear of your illness and hope that you will soon be feeling better. TL is a great incentive to improve!

Superb composition with the tree standing proud and perfectly positioned. With such outstretched limbs, it appears to be conducting proceedings for the trees in the b/g, and the ducks.
The soft colour tones speak loudly about the time of year.

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Hi Dot
Its nice to have you back on TL.
outstanding presentation for its marvelous soft tones, lovely scene with geese and splendid naked tree. well composed and beautifully framed.
perfect contribution to Friday's theme.
stay well
tsilla

un arbre qui a du en voir passer des oies!
il semble avoir été taillé (ou cassé?) et repartir avec vigueur sans se soucier des saisons qui passent et que nous rapellent si justement les oies (qui passent aussi!); après elles le vert arrivera vite je pense...
un cadrage sympa et une belle mise en valeur de cette saison intermédiaire, ni hiver ni vraiment printemps!

Welcome Dot,
very good shoot. Tree is very picturesque. Nice colouring and good lighting.
