Cary, great tones, detail, lighting, composition and DOF. #596694Cary Rogers January 29, 2007
Well, thank you, Janine! I thought that solitary cottonwood "looked" lonesome in the snow like that. ;-) #3889268Dominick M. Dimacale January 30, 2007
This is a great shot, love the colour and composition...Dominick #3891762Cary Rogers January 30, 2007
Thank you Dominick. I tweaked the saturation and hue just a bit, but this is pretty much "right out of the camera." #3891816Raymond Pauly January 31, 2007

Lovely photos! I like this one especially for its subtlety, but your effects inspire me to use a photoshop...Cary Rogers March 16, 2007
Thank you Irina! Sometimes I just like to take an "okay" shot and use it to "experiment" with---to see where it takes me. #4062642Cary Rogers March 24, 2007
Thank you Wes! And WELCOME to the BP community! I was driving a friend back to town when I pulled off onto the narrow shoulder of the highway, to take this photo. It was the tree that initially drew my attention; I hadn't even "seen" the fence until I uploaded the photo onto my computer! Thanks again!Jeannette Katzir April 20, 2007
One of the things I want most is to catch a shot that creates tranquiliity, You did it beautifully. #4190917Cary Rogers April 20, 2007
Well, thank you, Jeannette! I appreciate your comment. Apparently, this image "speaks" to a lot of people in different ways. #4190953JO ANN CLEVELAND June 07, 2007

Well, thank you Jo Ann! I keep waiting for BP to award me a premium gallery, so I CAN show more than 30 at a time. ;-) I almost didn't post this photo, but apparently it has a visual appeal for many people. Thanks again, Jo Ann! #4376939Michael Khoury January 20, 2008
this is very very good Cary; great interest in line and space...Cary Rogers January 20, 2008
Thanks for stopping by, Michael, and thanks for your comment! This image is not one of my all-time personal favorites---because of the sense of isolation---but, apparently it speaks to a lot of other people. thanks again #5366934Laura E. Swan February 11, 2008
Perfect Title. Makes me want to go out and but the cottonwood a little pal and plant it next to him. Even the fence and land look lonely. Great mood invoker.Newby-Laura Swan

Thanks for viewing my gallery, and for leaving me your comments on this image, Vikram. There is something about this image that "speaks" to a lot of people... #6322335Joni Earley October 16, 2008
Yes, this image "speaks" to me as well! Beautiful comp and contrasts.Cary Rogers October 16, 2008
Thank you for your great comments, Joni! I took this shot on Hwy 93, not too far from the old arsenal entrance. In certain scenic areas, I think they should have "photographer-only" lanes on the highways and main roadways! ;-) Thanks again for stopping by and commenting! #6609745Joni Earley October 16, 2008
Yea..."Pray for me, I drive Hiway 93!" Still some great vistas if you can hang out the window of the car and shoot as you pass by! #6610066Sign up for an interactive online photography course to get critiques on your photos.
