Description
A lone tree stands prominently in the center of a gently sloping field, contrasted against the clear sky in a monochrome setting. Stripes from agricultural activity add texture to the landscape, enhancing the tree's isolated stance.
I really like the simplicity and minimalism of photos with lone trees. The silhouette of a lone tree standing at the top of a hill can be seen in this photograph. There is a grassy field in the foreground. The tree is still leafless since I took this rural landscape photo during winter. That day the sky was clear, and the sun was ready to set, casting long shadows across the field.
I like the black-and-white version of this photo that really brings out the tree silhouette. The pristine sky behind the tree contrasts well with the branches and tree trunk. Furthermore, the sun brilliantly highlights the green field.
This hilltop tree may be seen outside of the Greek city of Thessaloniki. I've photographed it several times and will most likely do it again. Besides, I enjoy capturing photographs in nature! If you're interested, you can see more images from this area in my galleries!

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!
