It is truly a pity that this old tree is gone, because it was so beautiful standing there on its own. I especially like the simplicity and also the softness because of the fog. I also like the monochrome look.

In spite of the softness this is a sharp photo with clear and well defined details, and the exposure is perfect.

The format is perfect, and I like the centered position of the tree within the frame. I think this is a truly lovely and well taken photo Jack, and with an excellent DOF. A worthy contest winner.

Jack this was a once in a lifetime event. One that most every shooter I know would be willing to mortgage their first born for a chance like this.

Too top it all off there isn't one negative thing I can say about this excellent piece.

You captured for all time a moment that will never ever be repeated- Man that's photography!

Frame this and hang it where all who enter your house can see it... Bob

JackJr. I would say you gave this tree immortality at the very least, its image has been captured and will be its testament for those who want to see. Congratulations on your well deserved win. Ray

I am really old you captured this beautiful old tree as well! They are always a little more special when they stand on their own. Having this in black-and-white with the fog all around is a special touch. Great photo

Love the name and story behind the description here. I'm glad you had the opportunity to capture the tree. I like the softness of this photo. Black and white was the right choice. Great capture.

well,that certainly is a fine looking picture,my friend!
The fog gives the scene a nice 'Ghostly' tone and that's something that I like very much!

You have captured the beautiful shape of this tree, enhanced by the foggy day adding a mysterious feeling to the picture. it is a shame the tree is gone. Good luck in the contest.

Comment from Phil Holloway


The fog really adds an eerie atmosphere to a tree that already had some character and the back lighting to create a silhouette works really well. Good framing with the tree filling the frame yet we can see just enough of the ground to give a size perspective. Well done.
