Great light and of course subject. Your choice of muted tone also adds plenty of gravitas. (You should have scored better!)Message edited by author 2006-09-20 16:57:24.

I tried to find a single tree (did not know about this one) and found none. I guess there is only one like this on Iceland. :-)

Aw give me a break! I was thinking of the same friggin tree for this challenge but didn´t bother with the driving, just didn´t have time... Damn DPC and their week submission time, I would have gotten a yellow ribbon if only I had the time, hehe :)
Post actions
wonderful and you are crazy :)
Post actions
I´d walk a mile for a Camel, they said. You drove some 600 miles for a single tree. Wow! But it was worth it, I´m sure. Congrats!
Post actions
Congrats. I thought Iceland had no trees? Was Larus just making excuses? :P
Post actions
Congrats on the ribbon. Beautiful.

Congrats on the Yellow ribbon Structor! Surprising that it didn't place higher (i had it as the winner).
Post actions
I love the contrasts, black hill and white clouds, Red coat and green tree and grass, white rope on red coat, and the wide range of greens in the tree and also the bright bark. Excellent!
Post actions
they have trees in Iceland ????
Post actions
I was hoping to see this on the front page!!! Congrats on an excellent photo and the yellow ribbon!!

I really like the light on the tree in contrast to the dark forboding sky behind it. The person just adds that little extra.
Post actions
WOW, GREAT SHOT! i was just browsing through the images and i saw this one, it immediatly captured my attention.
Post actions
This makes me think of TUBORG's work. I like the slight desaturation of it. Beautiful with the hillside rising up behind the tree. Great vista with that added appeal of the human form.
Post actions
I love the person in this landscape...it really helps to set the scale. Great image!
Post actions
Nice shot. The processing is great as is the details. 9
Post actions
The theme is of this photograph is perfectly captured by the title. The photo draws me in and I see something new everytime I look. You have my vote---8.
Post actions
Very nice presentation but I think that budd would have a hard time finding a suitable branch for his swingin day. Overall, I think this was very well done and hope you do well. 6
Post actions
I'm not sure what the title means but a lovely photo nonetheless.
Post actions
kind of dark...i think if you had a bit more zoom on the body, it would be better
Post actions
the slight vignetting works nicely-
Post actions
Excellent shot! The post processing you have done really does give it that deserate feel - Nice work!
Post actions
beautifully done - kinda has a biblical feel to it with that person dressed as they are! gorgeous light!
Post actions
is that the back of the tree or the front?
Post actions
Excellent. Love the darkness this photo presents both in theme and tonality. Good composition, and very original. Hope it scores well.
Post actions
Great picture, it's nice to have included a person. Well done.
Post actions
I'd love to see this shot with a more blue sky...it might not work with the title...nonetheless cheers for a great shot!
Post actions
This will be the best of them....
Post actions
This is a really cool shot. I appreciate that you took the time not only to find a wonderful location, but to set up a subject as well. The composition is great and the subject is clear. The post work on the color is also nice, but the vinetting is a little obvious and overwhelming. While I do like the effect and agree that it's appropriate for the image, it's a bit apparent where it starts and stops and feels like a layer just hovering over the photo rather than an active part of the photo itself. You may want to look into different ways of achieving that look, or perhaps just lower the intensity somewhat. That being said, the picture is very nice overall and I think you'll do well in the competition.
Post actions
this is really nice, the whole scene reflects on the title. 9
Post actions
Cool tree. Not sure what the person is doing there? Looks like a lovely place to visit. Did you adjust some color hues in this? The sky looks unnatural, like grey instead of blue. Good luck in the challenge.
Post actions
I can only imagine Peru as being a location for this photo. But who am I to say. The person adds a lot to the image. 9.
Post actions
Very nice shot. I'm not sure if it would be better with out the person or not. 7
Post actions
Who's the 'subject in red' ?
Post actions
excellent color and composition, should place high
Post actions
Cool shot here and like the angle of the hill against the sky, re this composition.....
