Challenge: A Single Tree (Advanced Editing IV)
Camera: Canon EOS-5D
Lens: Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8L USM
Location: Malham Cove, Yorkshire
Date: Sep 8, 2006
Aperture: f11
ISO: 100
Shutter: 1/8
Date Uploaded: Sep 8, 2006

I decided to go the long way home from work, adding in about 100 miles in order to get this. I arrived just before sunset and had to run the last few hundred yards before the sun disappeared behind the hills to the west.

Whats with the Image name? - Clints are the blocks and grykes are the slots in the limestone pavement above Malham Cove in Yorkshire. The composition I chose was in order to try and balance the tree by someting green closer and diagonally oposite. The Clints and Grykes hopefully lead the eye to the final resint place at the tree.

great title, and lovely image! though especially considering that title, i wonder if the tree is really the subject? my eye tends to fall on the rock just to the right of the fern.

Stunning... there is a bit of a fight here between the foreground and the tree as the subject. I imagine you may have tried to lower the camera angle slightly to try & get a little more light under the lower right branches of the tree, yet it seems that the hill behind it wasn't going to go away. On the other hand it may have toned down the competition between the foreground and the subject... In any event it is a very nice photo.

Really well done, I'd love to see the original as I'm sure it is far more vibrant and detailed. Great presentation. Good luck.

Strong foreground element in this photo, but doesn't compete with or take away from the strength of the tree as a key element. Nice side light as well. Great job!

Surely Yorkshire above the dales. Nice clean air there and the limestone foreground adds great textural interest. 8.
