Tree, Mist, Bleak

Posted by Rhys (Darlington, United Kingdom) on 11 January 2008 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.

Typical County Durham winter weather. Its great 'oop North.
I have processed this one over and over again, each time slightly altering the toning and other pp stuff. I think I may now like this version.

I think you've captured the right combination of bleakness and beauty, Rhys. It's wonderful in its stark simplicity.

Very interesting subject with delicate light. Maybe it would be a different photo if the tree were'nt in the middle, but on a side (thirds rule).

@Calusarus: Yes, I know what you mean, but I figured that to draw attention to the subject and make it very obvious that it should be in the middle.

Looks great. I don't know how much processing went into this particular ideation of your vision, but it looks 100% legitimate and spot on with the tree & midground. Good job!

And thank you everyone!
