    This is a spectacular shot. Love the black/white contrast.

    This picture from the Highlands is really quite remarkable – the height and distance perspectives with the front and center tree branches, the sailboat out to sea, and the city skyline and structures – quite striking!

    Calm seas
    Lovely trees
    The nearby urban gray
    Could be a million miles away……

    Great photo, Ellen. What a striking effect and composition! The detail of NYC in the background is amazing.

  6. Thom says:

    Lovely image; the b/w nature of it makes it look snowy and cold – a Dr. Zhivago moment. Brava.

  7. Jacqueline says:

    Another perfect photo!

  8. Karen says:

    Great composition and I agree with Thom on the cold.

    This is a truly spectacular photo – almost magical, ethereal. I absolutely love the lace effect of the tree against the deep silver of the sky. Well done, Ellen!

    At first i thought it muse be a snowy branch against an icy sea, but of course, i realized my error. The triangular sail and negative triangle of the branches above make a striking composition against the ghostly city in the background.

    It’s interesting that several of you saw ice and cold. It was a sunny and warm spring day. With a tiny bit of manipulation (I’ll never tell!) the tables were turned, and the image was dramatically changed. As Degas once said, “art is not what you see, but what you make others see”.

    I love the canopy of white branches protecting the sailboat. Magical & Ethereal!
