Crying inside

Gallery: LandscapePosted April 13, 2010292 views15 comments

From my last trip where rain, snow, wind and cold were omnipresent. This little tree was really struggling, while the big fellows behind him were enjoying every moment. I had some trouble keeping moisture off the lens, so I hope the soft focus effect isn't too strong.

Yep, the simplicity is quite nice. The mixing of reds and greens, accompanied by the rain makes a lovely image.

Beautiful mood Dorin! I love how the trees are leaning in the same direction as the falling rain/snow, and the branches do a wonderful job framing the image.

Fine little scene and a nice change of pace on the forum! Love the foreground highlights and the way the little tree leans a different direction. Very well done.

I love the way the lone little tree stands out, and also like the overall mood and comp very much. Wish you had a larger version.

The inclusion of the rain makes the image. The shallow dof works well, too.

Very cool! I almost thought this was a motion blurred image. The rain, adds a nice sort of diffusion/softening that I really like.

Very cool shot. I like a 4x5 crop, from the left.

great. the only thing that disturbs me a bit is the stump in the bg. but thats minor and somehow fits the mood, too.

Excellent Dorin. I love what you captured here. The rain makes a good photo even better.
