Lone Tree






I took this photograph in 2005 with my first DSLR, a Minolta Maxxum 7D, unfortunately not as a raw file. I had to lie on my belly in the snow to cut out background that I wanted to exclude. That, of course, made me a target for my playful dog and his hound friend. 

I still like the photo, and today while trying another edit in Lightroom, I accidentally added the diagonal line which comes down from the left hand corner and then angles back to the tree. A cool mistake in my book.

Here is the picture without the lines, and slightly different rendition of the snow in the foreground, which has been trampled by the dogs. What I like best are the clouds and the hint of color in the late afternoon horizon:

  1. Like it - or rather I like them as the picture with Toby in it is beautiful too; but maybe not your favourite as photo art.

  2. I enjoy the picture of Toby much younger. He is still handsome, but not as full of energy. He still loves the golf course walks though.
