Nice leading lines to that great looking tree and then the eye wanders around and sees the nicely framed figure in the background - good one Debi! CJ

Thank you Rod, And aam if you are looking in, that's a stone.

Really well seen Debi wiv or wivout the bloke it makes for a great picy. I would have exposed more for the highlights & let the shadows go a lot darker but then again I'm really a bloke at heart:-)

Was kidding you. All detectives love to shadow their suspects. I forgot that English is not your main language. - Debi

I don't follow how being a detective has to do with my comment, Debi (and no, I'm not a detective). When I first saw the photo the first thing that caught my attention was the the tree and its shadow, especially the shadow.

Btw, what's that thing on the left. It doesn't look like an animal, yet it doesn't appear like a man-made thing either (pipe,hose, pump...etc).

Btw II, I like the inclusion of a person in the shot.

Thanks aam. Are you a detective by profession? - Debi

This is really nice (well, it has a shadow in it and I love shadows :)

This is terrific Debi. The shadow of the tree reaches out and pulls me right in. -Doug

Thanks YB & Penny. I have an almost identical picture without the man, but somehow this looked better - Debi

eerie, though also a lonely feeling. Penny Street

So small, but there is something about his body language that is threatening.
Well captured.
