Ahhhh, tuna, just when I think you are the cake with b&w you come up with this. Love the colors for the building wall; really helps the tree stand out even more. At first glance, I was not sure if I liked it with the tree cut off on the top and side. But the more I look at it, I think this reall works for.
On a different note, what film, if any, do you use for b&w? Just curious since your work in that always seems to be top notch.
Beautifully simple Tuna with great contrasts but compositionally this one doesn't do it for me. I think it needs a little extra ; perhaps one of us?

I have a total lack of respect for anything connected with society, except that which makes the roads safer, the beer stronger, the food cheaper, and the old men and old women warmer in the winter and happier in the summer. Brendan Behan
I agree with the composition issue. Beautiful colors and silhouette. But I want to see the left edge of the tree, preferably with as much space to the left as exists to the right. I think that's all this photo needs.

I like it too, I think the balance is given by the windows making it not need the extra space on the left. I like the counter balance of the tree and windows, which is odd for me as I am a very symmetrical person, in photography and even in my home decoration. But this one works for me, the colors are outstanding!
Hmm! is it me, the only complaint I have is the black rectangle at the base of the tree which my eyes keep getting drawn to. I assume its a drain hole. Clone that out and I'm happy, Love the colours on this.

PS. Don't you envy people that are this good :-))
