Once a week—or every so often—I will display one of my photos captured and/or processed with Instagram over the last week. It’s a way for me to show photography that usually is quite different from my regular work. The pictures are displayed without any comments, hoping they will stand on their own. But I still very much appreciate any comments you may have.
Love the golden glow.
It was quite spectacular – and a little bit enhanced in post-processing.
Of course!
Brilliant lighting!
Thank you, Linda.
Oh this is wonderful and no
Words needed!
That tower behind mountains-distracting, but love the colour and light contrasts.
I see that the tower can be distracting. Personally I find it adds a visual counterpoint to the natural beauty of the golden tree. 🙂
I like hearing your reasoning, thanks.
The contrast between the light and dark is very beautiful.
Thank you, Holly.
M’y pleasure !
Autumn is such a stunning season, I love it. You capture a golden gem with this picture, it really pops against the dark background. I actually like the antenna/tower on the hills it added further interest.
I agree with you – as I wrote in answer further up. Thank you for the feedback, Gilda.
I’m surely no kind of photography expert but if this photo was short during what appears to be evening why does this tree look bright enough to be on fire? Anyway, its pretty out there by its lonesome. Looks similar to a quaking aspen. Trees gives us and the all living things so much, including homes for larger bird varieties. The more diverse kinds of trees continue surviving the more diverse will be bird species and their songs.
The reason the tree seems to be glowing is because the sun comes from behind and lights up every single leaf. The photos wasn’t shot in the evening, but almost at midday, but the sun is really low up here in the north at this time of the year. And, yes, trees are very important for all living creatures and life in general.
Beautiful autumn colors,
Thank you, Greta.
Such a beautiful contrast in color with the background so dark. Intriguing!
I am glad you like it, Debra.
That’s beautiful with the tree glowing against the dark backdrop. Such a superb season for lovely photos!
It is indeed a superb season – for colours and dramatic photos.
Fabulous capture, Otto.
Thanks, Sylvia.
Beautiful gold!
It was quite extraordinary. 🙂
I’m imagining the stir there will be when the Ancient One lurking behind the hills finally makes his presence known. See the top of his hat?
That is a funny one, that I didn’t see coming. But I am anxiously anticipating the appearance of the Ancient One.
awww… pretty shining tree!!
It’s light from inside!
a burning bush!
The one and only!
Bright glow of the tree against dark background, so nice. It looks magical.
Thank you.
Like the extreme contrast and the curious tower beyond.
I am glad you do. Thank you, Denise.
Autumnal magic with its golden inspiration is lovely against the black background.
Thank you for the lovely words, Sally.
Colors, light and shadow…what beautiful time autumn is ! And how good you managed to show us!
Well, when occasions like this appear, it’s pretty much just shoot and capture the natural beauty. Thank you, Robert.
splendid color and i like the tower on the horizon
Thank you, Sherri.
The combination of colors is beautiful.
Thank you.
wonderful pic! I have been glorying in the magnificence of the Autumn colours this year – a true heart thrill.
Autumn is always a thrill, but yes, some years more than others,
