Inspiring Photo: The Holdout #7388325

The Holdout

Uploaded: November 12, 2008

Description

This lone tree doesn't seem to be ready to leave the party! (Tree...leave...there's a pun in there somewhere, but it's just too dang early to think that hard...)

I keep thinking I'm done posting autumn images, but I can't seem to quit...

I leave tonight for LA to spend a few days with Ann P...my first time in California!

Great capture of this hold out Deb.... #6744604

frank w. degenhardt November 12, 2008
Deb- This is a look we have all seen and I sure many would agree that is so fasinating. That one lone tree that just refuses to let go, who wants to hold its beauty as the rest around it have given up. Somehow I think there is a message in that for us.
I think your composition and the setting is just as beautful as the tree. The capture of the bridge and the water of the lake, plus the grass is perfect and simply gorgeous.
Fantastic colors, lighting, clarity, features make for a exquisite and beautiful picture.
Impressive work

I don't know what to add after Frank! He's a hard act to follow! LOL. This is gorgeous, Deb! I don't spot any hold-outs anymore, not around my house. Well I take that back; there are a couple, but they're very brown. Not colorful at all. I'm afraid the show is over and the door to the theater is closed! Until the snow. Have a GREAT time with Ann in California! I know you will. At this time of year, you will think you're on another planet! I'll be looking forward to the photos from you both! #6745285

Denny E. Barnes November 12, 2008
