a weird sickly December sky near DC. spot metering on the sky made the tree too dark and the tree made the sky to blown out so I set it to manual and put the shutter somewhere between the 2

Yes. I like these silhouettes better in B&W/sepia. Goo job. Jacko 8

challenge met. i like how you balance the tree and the clouds as subjects in the photo. i would like to see more of the bottom of the tree, but i suspect the "hand of man" would show itself in some way, shape, or form. i also like the color you have chosen for this photo, it works very well. while the frame matches that color well, i personally don't like it so much. i think a black frame would've worked better here (since you can only use one frame). with multiple frames, maybe just add a thin black line and then test out this frame again. but then, that's just personal taste, anyway.

Very nice composition. I like the duotone you used on the clouds. Another of the nicer tree silhouette photos in this challenge.

Good border color. 8

Very nice! The sepia tone is perfect. Good composition and focus. Top ten for me this week.

I love the toning and the border here, great job!

There are a couple patches in the sky that seem just a TAD too bright. Otherwise, I think this is a wonderful shot. I like the sepia tones and the angle and framing/cropping are good. No signs of man here. The focus is nice, and lighting on the subject its self is good. Good luck in the challenge.

Nice use of tinting, and framing. The sky seems a little too bright in parts, but overall a very pleasing image!

I like the sepia and your border. Good composition as well. DPz

Ahhhhh some. Beautiful frame choice too.

Nice wintery scene, but it just doesn't excite me much. Maybe it would have been better if the tree top had been left in.

Nice shot, good choice of border. I think this might have worked a tiny bit better with just one tree in the frame, but the others don't "ruin" it. 8 Swash

nice image, i like the look and feel of the pic.

I'm not sure if I get your title. I don't see hills anywhere. Too bad about the trees in the background, This photo would be beautiful without them. Good composition, and great focus. Wish you could maybe see a little more of the main tree. Not extremely interesting, but it fits the challenge. -5

Pretty. Not crazy for the crop at the top. Love the color. Strong shot.
12/16/2002 01:15:08 AM
Oh this border works great with this shot. I love the way it looks. I think a crop with more of the tree in the shot would improve it, maybe with some sky showing above the highest part of the tree. Overall well done, Looks great.

Nice sepia effect
