Description
A Special FriendThis is a "friend" of mine. Amongst so many similar trees, he is special. I was out there on this windy afternoon to test my new Lee GND's and my B+W ND. Now I'm able to take really long exposures. I hope you like it.
[EDIT] Color tone adjustments.
[EDIT] Lowered contrast of the grass in the foreground.

Your work is amazing, you passion for nature certainly shows. I love the use of filters here...inspiring me to invest in a few. I love the solitary nature of this tree among such movement and life around it. Amazing

Thanks. There are some filters that really expand your abilities on photography. Polarizer, graduated neutral density and plain neutral density filters. You might really consider getting them ... they are fun to use.

Thank you...I used to photograph with celuloid film about 15 years ago and had loads of filters, but have not yet purchased any for my new adventures in digital...I'm inspired by you and going to the camera store TOMORROW! Thank you for inspiring me! You are quite talented....at a level I can only wish to reach.

It's always nice to hear, that I had something to give as I receive so much from other people all the time as well. Good luck with your photography.

Wow ... never thought about how similar that tree looks to the Statue of Liberty - that's really weird. Thanks for pointing that out to me.

Wie immer super Arbeit. Weiter so!
So was in der Art wollt ich schon immer mal machen, aber im Moment fehlt mir das nΓΆtige Kleingeld.
Tja, so ist das Leben.
Sieht aber auf jeden Fall supergut aus.
