Photographer's Note
Today another post from one of my favourite themes: the trees. This image was taken also on Seixal surroundings, on the protected area that surrounds Benfica's training centre. I will not give any further details as I already wrote about on previous posts.
Maybe you may find a bit of noise but I like it on B&W images.
Hope you enjoy it!

Hola Paulo, para mi es un placer ver composiciones en B/N con calidad y buen gusto como esta que nos presentas, sobre todo me gusta el POV y la soledad de lo que perece un viejo olivo que ya nadie cuida.
Un fuerte abrazo desde España.
Paco.

Hello Paolo, bonito este enquadramento poético mas não somente, e exposto desta maneira esta imagem é mais um ambiente abstracto que uma vista dinâmica o que deixa livre tribunal cada um se fazer uma ideia sobre a vida e a morte de certas árvores como este bem photogénique e se interrogar porque este e não outro, bem cordialmente

Salut Paulo,
L'effet est intéressant avec ce N&B, c'est bien vu avec ce fort contraste pour faire ressortir les branches de cette arbres et les herbes.

Bonsoir Paulo
j'aime beaucoup ce traitement n&b qui je trouve amène toute l'ambiance à cette photo. Un peu mystérieuse et un peu noire... Les différentes parties de la compo sont bien contrastées ce qui donne un très bon résultat. Beau travail
amicalement

Hi Paulo,
I had a bit of a look at your gallery...very nice.You have a nice style and this one included.You have given the image some sort of emotion but I cant really put my finger on it - The tree seems to have a soft feeling about it...maybe mystery...but the sky has a more turbulent ominous look...quite a conflict.Thanks for sharing....quite special.
Regards, David

Hi Paulo
I like this shot a lot. The contrast is good and dramatic. The detail is nice and sharp and I like the effect of the clouds. This is great stuff.

Hey Paulo
That's a very lonely and sad tree, man.
How can you just leave em like this! Put a beautiful model to it, and this will transform it into one artistic cool portrait, man.
But the most interesting about this image is the tecture of the sky. It is beautiful, eventhough it's in B&W effect.
Cheers and good day, Paulo.

Hello Paulo,
un traitement n/b qui donne une dimension inhabituelle à ce genre de composition. Bien entendu, on sait à quel point le n/b peut affiner les détails et renforcer les contrastes.
C'est la cas ici.
Cadrage très précis et le choix du format vertical incontournable.
Un excellent week-end.
Daniel.

I couldn't resist clicking on this thumbnail, Paulo. It is a treat to the eyes. The tones are rich and deep, and I love the bold composition of the well placed tree.

The B&W version is really good. It looks quite a mistery shot...you have good side lighting it makes it looks more 3D. For the sky it looks excellent as a background

Hi Paulo
Such a dramatic and emotive pose from mother nature. A very well detailed and thought of position. I Love the effect of the sky too. Is that natural of done on the computer?
Well done thanks alot for sharing
Take care
