a beautiful composition and I love the b/w-choice.
I would probably have cropped the beneath part where the texture ( aprox 4 centimeter) is distracting me from the beauty of the scape

Thanks Juliette. I take your point, I had reservations myself. However, cropping would have upset the balance of the composition. As you know, I often crop to very much non-standard formats to get the composition I like. Not always the composition that others would prefer, but the composition I like. You have done me the honour of praising the composition in some of these images; so I must get it right some of the time.

yes; I often admire your compositions.... I don't know if some cropping on this one would ruin the balance.. I think it is worth a try

If you take equal bits off of the top and bottom, you'll still have the same composition, just not as tall.

Yes, sort of, but not really the same. I'll play with it tomorrow and see what I think. Your comments are valued ladies, thank you. If I did post-processing I'd use some blurring tool on the grass to minimise the texture, but I don't play such games as you know.

I'm quite happy that I've managed to get three very different and quite well received photographs out of the same two trees. As Juliette has said before, there is something special about a simple image that works well.
