This picture has a lovely minimalist feel. And the border, despite being thicker than I would normally like, is very effective with the clean lines of the photo. Very original. A winner.

Good rhytm in this series, a more discrete or white framing would have done it for me.

Highly unusual composition. The framing to make it look like a photo from the 60s adds something in itself.

I like the progressively closer take, with the color one being last. That's good storytelling!

I should know by now that photos like this don't do well on DPChallenge :)

These willows are standing behind a church that is the only building left of a small village that had to dissapear to make place for heavy industry. Like the church, only the fist willow seems to be able to survive.
I added high contrast on purpose and did a lot of fine-tuning to give the scenery the dramtic atmosphere that suits it best.

The photo doesn't show to full advantage on a bright monitor. I've got a print hanging on the wall in my livingroom and it's looks much better that way. The only way for you to find out is by buying a print on DCPrints though :)
