The roughness of his hands, the curl of the tips of his fingers show hardworking, yet sensitive gentle hands that are capable of working for a living but, playing for enjoyment. Works well in this tone and contrast to show the effect of sound.

I can hear the movement of his fingers, tapping out a beat, one movement, melding into the next, scarcely having left the movement prior. The movement shown really conveys the sound. Nicely cropped.

Squawk!
by TillyTiger

Comment:
Their sound is thunderous when in groups and yet, ever so peaceful when beside water...especially, the roar of waves, pounding over the beach. I can almost hear them as they squawk in an attempt to go after the food being thrown out for the masses. Bring out a lot of memories. Beautiful capture and fits the challenge well!

This reminds me of an old western movie set...really nice with the contrast and depth of b&w tones.

Living in the negative space

Wow, this is really nice! Really different! The color and textures of the sand and the single palm in the shot, against the blue sky should do really well. Nicely done!

Thanks For Catching Me

If a tree falls in a forest and there's no one there to hear it, does it make a sound? *smile* I'm not sure that this qualifies as a "single tree" but, I like that you captured a natural happening in nature that not too many of us really think about.

Prelude to a Storm

Beautiful textures between the grass and the sky, the roughness of the grass and the soft texture of the clouds. Makes one want to rest under that tree on a hot day!

In Winter

Really beautiful shot! The sky is outstanding and the shadows and highlights on the snow are really fabulous. It certainly sets the tone for the shot and the idea of being icy cold...as though a snow storm is about to set in. Great editing too!

Window

I really like this shot....it's kind of like the dreams that a child has of a rather shadowy tree outside a window and can imagine all sorts of things in its shadows.
