Very nice photo. Remind me of a very bushy tail. I particularly like the blurry tree at the end.

OK...fantastic. I'm now a fan....

This is just a flat out classic shot. I don't think I can add anything more than what's already been said except that I love it myself....fav.

beautiful, put together immaculately - my only complaint is that it's not bigger

i really like the coloration, the misty overcast quality of the atmosphere, and the way the snaking line of the edge of the cornrows bisects the scene from foreground to background and from left to right.

you've got a great eye and a lot of talent, keep it up.

Beautifull, but I can't completely agree with your main comment, because man made it like that, not nature.
But you are right that nature evokes (our ) loneliness: it gets us naked and reveals everything.

I think that's probably what you meant?

I am trully speechless with this shot... Composition is just about perfect, the horizontal (yet moving) line of corn with the vertical tree in the background...




I don't like the border though... It just doesn't seem right on this shot.

Great picture, although I think that black border takes away from it.

This does have a very lonely desolate feel to it, beautifully done.

that's crazy.. I've tried so many times to get a good shot of the corn field.. and I couldn't wait til I got my digicam to start taking more.. I love this, though! something I've tried to capture..

deleted-space [2003-09-24 20:18:18 +0000 UTC]

it's amazing how the corn is so close to the tree and so prolific, yet the tree is still... solitary.

wow, that seems like a metaphor for the world today

what it feels like to be "alone in a crowd" is the concept this image evokes to me...

perfect use of dof.

I do like the sephia tone, but think black and white would have given it a more issolated / lonley feeling.

great photo
