Description
A swarm of small birds perches on the branches of a single, leafless tree. The birds perched atop the leafless tree create a captivating image, with the intricate branches and twigs of the tree providing the perfect backdrop. The cold winter has stripped the leaves from this deciduous tree, creating a lovely silhouette. A small wooden fence surrounds it. In contrast, there is a forest of pine trees in the background that retain their foliage all year. This morning was extremely foggy, which contributed to the haze in the atmosphere. This moody photograph benefits greatly from the black and white processing.
The photo's simple composition makes it easy to appreciate the beauty of the scene, while the monochromatic palette gives the image a timeless elegance that will draw the eye of any viewer.
This photo was taken at the Natural Environmen Part of Thermi dam in Thessaloniki, Greece.

In addition to the banner, I am adding this more permanent recognition of its FEATURE on the homepage of A TREE OR TREES IN BLACK AND WHITE. I try mightily to feature only images that would be at home in a juried competition. No doubt that this image fits that bill. CONGRATULATIONS! And consider adding your image to DISCUSSIONS "Please post your featured photograph here" for greater, long-lasting visibility.
