Very nice silhouette of this tree and the burning yellow image of the sun in the background. Nice capture and poem to go along with it. Thanks for sharing

    Thank you so much Jo. Your words made such a difference. Yes I have found so much positive in the comments.

    Between us I found out I had a stroke and one of the symptoms is real mood swings. I am not used to that so I think when I posted this one the more I looked at it the more the words came. I guess it is just one of those things.

    Forgive me for saying way to much. Sorry.

    I so appreciate your review and comments Jo ~ Steve

you outdid yourself on this one my friend. the title speaks for itself, and the filters you used really brings in the fear and loneliness factor. the poem is the added benefit that brings this all together. This is one that should be shared along with the poem on social media, so many are hurting and feel those feelings of loneliness, fear, dread, but the last verse says it all and brings in the light of color, the orange and yellows in your art. Well done.
take a bow on this one. have to say this is my favorite of all your work

    Aw. You are so sweet. I truly value your opinions and am very thankful for your Marvelous review and Grand rating. It is so encouraging. I sent the photo to you at an email that I had from a long time ago. Please let me know if you got it. It is yours to do with as you wish.

    I think it might make a nice card for someone who is feeling alone and down and reminding them that there is Hope. I don't do Facebook or any social media, but you are right about the idea that it may touch someone. Several of the reviewers said it meant a lot to them. That is so good to know. Hope all is well my friend ~ Tarzan

    I can't thank you enough for sending it to me. I am going to put it on my facebook page and share it to a few people i know could use the lift up. Also, I was thinking the same thing about a card, if that's okay with you
    thank you again

    I am so glad that you got it Diana. Thank you for posting it on social media.

    I too was thinking that it would make a Wonderful Hallmark Card. I don't know how to go about having it made into a card, but I Truly Believe that it would reach many people who very much could relate to the scene and find the words comforting.

    I you would look into it I will pay the costs and then split whatever residuals it may generate. Deal? Some card companies will probably want to purchase the copy right others may not. If you want check it out and let's see what happens. OK?

    I would gladly do it yet I am having some issues with thinking and concentrating as the result of this darn stroke which makes it difficult to concentrate and think.

    Anyway please give it some thought and thank you for posting it for those who may need it ~ Steve

This is such a dramatic and outstanding photograph that depicts perfectly your thoughts and feelings in your very sombre poem. The gnarly silhouette of the tree is a great contrast against the gentle lines of the red and orange in the sky. Just beautiful.

6 Stars, fantastic poem coming with this lonely tree , alone without leaves like dead standing on the fire of light
fantastic capture , super color range , clear and sharp in details - your enhancements are stunning in energy flow, brightness, color saturation and the sky seems to be alive - a true piece of art by nature, thanks for sharing

Steve,
A dramatic & very beautiful sunset picture with the silhouetted bare branched tree covering the sun's golden disc. The beautiful gold's, oranges& browns in the cloudy sky reflected on the water below. Artistic composition framing and lighting taken with superb camera techniques and sharp focus.
