    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.

    Very nice, the tree silhouettes beautifully against the yellow bg. Also the white window frames add a great contrast as well. Framed well

    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?

    Re: Tree, The City

    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.

    Very Nice. The composition is great and I like the blue of the windows with the golden bricks.

    Re: Tree, The City

    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!

    Re: Tree, The City

    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.

    It may be by proper compositional rules that I don't appreciate, but for me I don't like the way the tree is cut off.
