strange question: why are the trees dead if they are near a lake? Is it brackish?

not a natural lake. It was a forest area that was flooded by the dam many years ago

the black and white really adds to the graveyard effect. the cloudy weather and the time of day with the rays shining though was perfect for this concept. beautifully done

Nicely done Meneer Hougaard. One of my favourites to come from you in a while. Very powerful composition and works magnificently as a BW.

The lighting is superb, good choice for black and white, adds more contrast and detail Great scene too.

Nicely done, although its a bit oversharpened on the tree in the foreground. Just fix up the halo effect. Might just be the sized down version here on DevArt, just make sure its not showing up on the original one. Awesome location!

Thanks...sal check. Ek dink dit het ingekom met die conversion van die verskillende tones. Sal sien hoe dit op print lyk

I think this is one of ur best works. The theme, the composition, the lightening, the effect and the drama stand out in this one. It is rare to see where overexposing clouds can go smoothly and well with the photo. Great shot.

You sure have a really varied nature over there.
Beautiful work once again. I wonder what this looks like in color

An amazing composition to be sure. The spacing between the clouds over the tree make it almost appear to have leaves.

All is quite awesome.......the light however, blows me away!!! I've decided you could do this with a disposable camera!!! Thanks for giving me something to add to my s!

beautiful. The light shines through the clouds at the perfect angle in this, and the composition as a whole is amazing ^^

I'm getting a Marcus Adamus vibe from this, haha. Love that ray of sunlight coming through in the background. Excellent sharpness, and detail man, great job!!
