Who will love you
who will take care of you
who will share watching the evening sun set
who will laugh with you
who will cry with you
who will takeaway the loneliness, and soothe you when you fret
when you are "Barren"

The look of this tree needs nothing at all, to show/create feelings within me. Great capture of this lonely tree- Orion008.

Comment from Ramona12
Nice pretty colors and the tree is very interesting in form. The background compliments nicely also. It may be barren now, but spring will renew all very soon.

You definately have a talent for making these types of things look cool, I like the positioning you used for this , the color is and everything is balanced nicely

Comment from davideyoung
Very nice. Although I disagree about any resemblance to you! It is well framed and has a stark look, even with that modern fence at its base. Nicely done.

Comment from Julez
This image is awesome, love the colors! The barren tree is definitely the center of focus here, but it helps bring out the deep blue sky and the browns/tans of the ground and hills as well, nicely done!!.

Comment from Casteel
Hi Debbie, this is a very nice image, I really think the framing on this one is very good.. it would be nice if we could upload a little larger image to view it closer but from what I can see the colors are nice and the textures look really nice.. well done..

Comment from bhoffman
Do you know why I like this image? because you don't know if that tree is coming or going! It reminds me of the african baobob trees that look like they're growing upside down.

Fun image to talk with friends about

Comment from shiverfix
Very well framed. You did a good job of using the tree trunk to pull the eye through the shot. It has good weight and balance. Do you see how the darker foliage on the hill is pretty much sitting on the top third? I think what's key for holding weight on this shot, it that you left enough sky to open it up at the top, and keep the darker band from making it feel top heavy. I do question the DOF, not sure if this would have been better with a little more, to bring the background into more focus. It is always so hard to tell on the little uploads we have to use.

Thank you shiv! Yep, I struggled with the DOF, shot with large and shallow, the tree seemed to get lost in the blend with the larger DOF, but kinda did eni-meni on which to post--
