A wonderful composition in monochrome Xavier! I like the balance between the solo tree to the left and the gentle rolling hills in the distance on the right!

Lovely. The sole tree heightens the feeling of solitude in this shot.

Xavier... Menorca!!! Quins records i quina enveja!!! Disfruta-la tu que pots.
Sobre la foto, m'agrada molt la composició, es nota que està cuidada, i la silueta de l'arbre és definitiva. Coses que jo hauria provat, dues: mirar de reduir el contrast entre terra i cel, tractant-los per separat per intentar obtenir detall de tots dos, i les floretes que s'endevinen al centre abaix, o mirar d'entrar-les més a l'enquadrament o eliminar-les. És només la meva opinió , eh? Salutacions.

@XaviH: Lo del cel hauré de provar-ho. Així de primeres no ho veig clar. Ho provaré, possiblement tinguis raó. Lo de les flors és definitiu, se m'ha colat. Gracies per avisarme.
@Moridi: Thanks for the nice comments
@Josep Triay: Ostres, i tu per Bali. Deus haver tingut cossiguetes amb aquesta foto :D

Very nice. Yesterday you suggested that I add more grass at the bottom. If this were my photograph, I would crop off some of the bottom and create a panoramic. One the things that I like most about photography is our diversity. Thank goodness that most of us don't have to please anyone but ourselves.

@john4jack: Absolutly agree. You are right. There is too much grass. Actually you are not the first one to tell me. I must change that. Thanks so much for you suggestion.

A nice moody shot, the dark tones work well.

Five start from me on this frame. The lone tree is a favourite subject and this image is poetic!

@k@: I must admit that the cropping is not well achieved. There is too much grass, I should've cropped a bit of the bottom. Thanks.
