Comments: lone tree on green and grey

This is quite different from most other photos i've seen from you so far... I like it

For such a composed photo, it raises many mixed emotions.

Thanks

Wow, I just found your blog from the Fifth Annual Weblog award site. I'm glad I did.

Reminds me of a scene from "The Grapes of Wrath"

When are you going to publish a book of your photography?

Cool shot. It almost looks like a person is standing next to the tree.

I quite like this one, the simplicity appeals to me.

The lines on the field are interesting too - in the distance they're sharp but closer they're motion blurred (presumably) due to being shot from a moving car?

Evocative - this has a bleak monday morning feel

Great composition, light and contrasts

WoW!!!

Posted by elizabeth at December 4, 2005 08:29 AM

this is simple, the colors are subtle, nothing spectacular, but i really like it.

You must have been pretty far north of Toronto - it seems as though all the farmers in York Region have sold their land, and in place of furrows there are fire hydrants sprouting out of the earth.

Belle photo, un noir et blanc mettrait peut-être plus en valeur l'irrégularité de l'arbre dépassant de l'horizon.
Bravo pour le regard toujours en éveil.
Si cela vous intéresse, j'aurai quelques photos à vous soumettre dans ce qui me semble être le même esprit que le vôtre.

I LOVE this photo. Very simple but very effective.

Posted by Chris at December 4, 2005 11:18 AM

Love it, reminds me of Southern Ontario.

Wonderful image. Great use of lines leading to the big, big sky.

Posted by Paul at December 4, 2005 12:08 PM

great atmosphere!

Posted by Wolfgang at December 4, 2005 01:26 PM

this reminds me of a view someone would see everyday yet never appreciate

until it becomes something special to someone else, until someone else can point out and capture the specialness of it

and then it is less theirs, and they regret having not seen the specialness in it for that long, for the times when it was all theirs

so many instances of this same story in life

I love seeing the rows in the field like this when driving past. I find it very relaxing. This photo is great! :)

Looks like the T.V. commercial for Six Feet Under!
You used to post the coolest and at the same time craziest photos; not a lot of those anymore, what happened?

Posted by Amin at December 4, 2005 02:32 PM

Its just like the end of the opening credits of six feet under!! Very cool.

I keep looking for Clint Eastwood in this. If this were sepia and/or a silhouette it would be Unforgiven. Odd that this is north of Toronto. Feels like it should be Saskatchewan or maybe Alberta. No, actually as I think of it, if this were Alberta there'd be a WalMart or Brick there.

ur just fucking awesome

Posted by sara king at December 4, 2005 05:26 PM


My kind of photograph. Great subtlety, perfect balance, emotional depth. Fine work.

Posted by ned at December 4, 2005 06:14 PM

good shot !

Posted by a colori at December 4, 2005 07:13 PM

This is most definatly the most boring image you posted to date... someone had to say it. But that tree looks really interesting. To bad you couldn't have run through the field and got a good shot of it closer. The composition is great tho, as per usual of your shots. It's mostly the fact that the sky isn't very interesting which is completly beyond your control. Was this shot out the window of a car?

Posted by andrew at December 4, 2005 08:32 PM

i really dig this photo. i agree it look sdifferent from your usual style, but it's so good anyway.

Posted by aaron at December 4, 2005 08:57 PM

Nice - it captures the way this time of year feels.

Posted by resolution at December 4, 2005 09:53 PM

Absolutely Beautiful!

Posted by leila at December 4, 2005 09:54 PM

Posted by tee at December 4, 2005 11:37 PM

What a shot. Magnifique.
Can I place a request for larger version please.
PS. seems that there are more than one Payam in the list :^)

Posted by Payam at December 5, 2005 07:47 AM

Like your previous shot, this is very different from your typical stuff. Yet still a good shot. I take it the sun hasnt been seen much in toronto lately?

Posted by Phil at December 5, 2005 07:20 PM

oooh- i love this- great atmosphere

Posted by shaun at December 7, 2005 11:14 AM

Posted by shailly at December 8, 2005 03:30 AM

I appreciate the composition here. The field is really accentuated and brought to attention by your very good use of thirds. The tree on the right adds to the shot very nicely.

Posted by Abe at December 9, 2005 04:04 PM

Same Thought... "Shawshank Redemption" and the buried money & note.

Posted by Chuck at April 10, 2006 08:53 AM

I want this as my wallpaper. Please e-mail me the full sized picture. Thanks!
