Branches

I rather liked the look of this tree. It of course looked very good against the field of yellow rapeseed, but I’ve converted it to monochrome to show off its delicate branches, which I thought was the real beauty here.

When I turned 180 degrees at this spot I caught this amazing view…

Great contrast and good choice the monochrome that help you to focus on the branches! A beautiful composition.

An interesting effect created by converting the yellow flowers to grayscale.
I like your London skyline too.

Nice shot. I think the London skyline gets better and better.

Very nice Ray, it almost looks wintry.

just like a snowy scene - except I suppose with the tree in leaf :)

Very beautiful tones in this image. Very pleasant and peaceful.

very nicely done!

Great idea. Presumably the bright yellow crop is 'under-lighting' the tree to some extent, a little like snow?
