A Single Tree
I have photographed this tree several times over the years. You can see 2 of those shots here and here. This tree stands alone in this spot which is just a little spit of land , a jetty more or less, that sticks into the bay across from NY in the Atlantic Highlands. You used to be able to go onto the jetty but they recently replaced the fencing and gates which now extend into the water preventing access, unless you don't mind getting wet to get there. I shot this from a restaurant parking lot that is adjacent to the jetty.

I do not know if you have play on the scales of whites, this shot is remarkable, a job which likes the photograph, and visite VFXY.
the light is amazing and you captured that bird just perfect
(hehe, the captcha makes me write into the word verification field: 'suckee' :))
wonderful golden light, and the bird really makes it, optically and also metaphorically: flying away whilst the tree has to stay there in the cold, waiting until spring...
this shot is wonderful... I love nature compo so much! The light in here is fantastic and thin lines of the branches and of the vegetation.
Beautiful afternoon light Laurie. I think it is too red for morning light?
There is a nice flow in this image, and the bird is that extra little touch that makes this image great!
Really nice shot, something's mysterious !
Yup, the light is just fabulous, and so richly captured in your image and processing. Great stuff.
Bonjour,
Very beautiful shot..Amazing light, composition..bravo!
great contrast and lighting here, also really like composition, superb capture ...
Nice light. It's always fun to photograph the same object at different times to record how natures changes the landscape from season to season.
Fantastic light and composition!
A great compo !! Which sweetness this light. And this bird in full flight... it's a magnificent view.
I like this one best, good perspective, cool lighting,and the birds wings are perfect:)
Wonderful tones. The bird really works well too. My favorite of the tree series.
i think the bird looks like an Angel over this land, great shot Laurie!
Such beautiful light, Laurie! All the photos are wonderful. They make quite a lovely series. :)
nice bird shot, I like how it ties into the enviroment.
Of the three pictures I like this one the best. The tree is leaning inwards, acting as an anchor for the image; the bird is at exactly the right place - to tie in with the tree and the rushes look as if they're deliberately mirroring that movement. The colour is glorious, the light just right to enhance the right parts of the picture and disguise some of the foreground clutter.
It's a lovely image.
Lovely landscape shot! I like the fading colors on the prairie, as well as the bird flying by! =D
a really elegant handling of your subject here
in every version, this is a very interesting place, and you have captured fantastic. excellent work
this photo is amazing. the light is wonderful. the tree, the bird.. everything is at the right spot
Fabulous light and excellent composition. You manage to capture the bird in the right spot.
Une magnifique composition, l'arbre et l'oiseau !
Bonne journée.
Another cool shot the colours and how you caught that Bird is amazing great work !
Very nice.
Wow love that tree and the bird flying through the frame! Nice!
The tree looks very good in this version with the warm light streaming across the image. Very attractive picture.
Beautiful golden tones and composition. Laurie. I just love coming here to see what you haveposted.
Beautiful image, the lighting is perfect!
Wow! What a wonderful light. Delicious capture.
Of the three images I find that I like this one the most (which is surprising to me because the one with the colored sky is fantastic and the other features water which I love). The entire composition here just comes together for a very powerful image. All the elements are working together. Really nice!
Super scene! The foreground is a little distracting but otherwise this is really beautiful!
beautiful lighting and colors!
fantastic shot!!
Yet another fabulous capture. I love it Laurie!
