Redol,
Hahaha!!! I could see the friendly expression in his body posture. And with the kid beside him, this monster must really be friendly... :)

Thanks for sharing,

Hi Rodolfo,

This does look like a strange tree, but with the little kid it looks like the tree is protecting it.
Great B/W shot with good perspective, I like it.

Excellent compo and perfect B&W conversion. I would have cloned the white stripe in the top (might be from a plane) as it catches my eye all the time.

Rally nice shot Rodolfo. his tree is amizing: great catch woth comparison and scale with this little, and as you say, innocent girl behind. B&W conversion is great but for sure, the compo is extra!

Hello Rodolfo,

Well spotted! This is almost like the illustration for a children's fantasy story!
I agree with you! It is a monster! Only the next chapter will tell us whether it was friendly or not!

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

It depends how you are looking to the life.

For my idea he is a good friend of lil girl,
he collected all the rocks from the field because he never wants her fall down and injures

I hope you can understand my bad english :))

Hi Rodolfo,
It is a great idea this B&W! The dramatic and terrific aspect of the tree is enhanced with this conversion. I like your concept getting an interaction with the obscure forces and childhood's innocence.
Genial composition and great qualities of highlight and shadows. Bravo! Annie

A superb image Rodolfo. The tonality is excellent and the composition and inclusion of the child is likewise.

Hello Rodolfo,
Monsters can be friends... ;o).
Your framing makes the suggestive shape of the tree really pop out. Good idea to include the child: like a touch of innocence wich gives the tree silhouette a less frightening look. You could even say the tree bends itself to protect the child.
Good choice of B&W and good contrasts. Just a pity you couldn't avoid the straight line of the "plane cloud". Difficult to get ideal circumstances.
Anyway, you achieved an artistic picture.
TFS & kind regards,
Erik

Hola Rodolfo,

Son excelentes estas fotografías, menudas formas tienen estos arboles, y la composición es excelente, el tono en B/N le da mas fuerza si cabe. Buen disparo.

Hi Rodolfo,

Sorry to be sentimental, but this image makes me incredibly nostalgic. I grew up on a farm, and in the pen where the animals stayed, there was an ugly tree like this, and beside it was the animals feeder... and when I got bored watching my brother fill the feeder with food, I would (as shown in the image) push rocks into the tree... I don't know why I did that... somehow seemed logical back then I guess. ;P

Thank you for this post... the image is wonderfully taken... and a wonderful blend of grays here. TFS.

Biance.
