Peace at Last

Eye leave you not!

Leaves shadowed silence

Leaves remain

Leave no fear

Leaves daffodils

Leave our reflections

Leaving my classroom

Light leaves much

Leave crosses and bones

Beautiful composition Mary... I love the skies, and the clouds, and the silhoutes of the tree's. I especially love the sun rays shooting down the hill as the sun-sets behind the hill....and of course the title of the image! It is Just right.

stunning silhouettes.marvelous moood. wonderful compsoition. 7+++++


elizabeth Blair   {K:2202} 1/3/2007
I like how you caught that one leaf and then the sun just being in the right spot when you took it... it is great!


Sam Graziano III   {K:13947} 1/3/2007
Wonderful Composition and presentation Mary.

I Love the Tree silhoutted and the rays of lights.
This would have been a good shot to use a 3 stop hard graduated filter( upside down.) that way you could have captured the tree silhouette without the sun over exposed. Either way you slice it, it is still an awesome Shot.
Happy New Year to you Mary!

My Best Regards

Sam III


Michele Carlsen   {K:127677} 1/3/2007

Mark Sherman   {K:15469} 1/4/2007

Thanks Jessie- pleased you liked the image and title .


Mary Slade   {K:40918} 1/5/2007
Now that is a poetic title Mark "sense of goodbye"- I must get writing! (Less poetically, the leaf fell off when I looked again!)


Diego Bullita   {K:14588} 1/5/2007
hi Mary,
it is always difficult to photograph backlighting ...

compliments
diego

Many thanks Diego- Glad you liked it. The sun needs to appear more often these days!


Alessandro Capelli   {K:34260} 1/6/2007
wonderful composition and light mary!
ale


Dave Stacey   {K:114933} 1/7/2007
Those leaves have a way of hanging on, Mary, it's as if they just don't want to give up! I like the way you've silhouetted the tree against the clouds and sky, with the sun just peeking over the horizon.
Dave.


Mary Slade   {K:40918} 1/7/2007
Thanks Dave- you're right -there are always a few stubborn leaves that seem to be glued to the trees even with gales! Maybe a lesson to us to stick it out through troubles!


Mary Slade   {K:40918} 1/7/2007
Thanks Ale- precious little sun these days- so need something to remember it by!


jacques brisebois   {K:55139} 1/7/2007

Robert Chin   {K:20378} 1/10/2007
A ray of hope from the darkness,love the balance
you captured and the exposure given the difficult lighting conditions.
Happy New Year Mary & Family.
Robbie


Ardalan Haddad   {K:13811} 1/10/2007
dear Mary,

the thing is that these kind of nature-oriented shots are very hard to find. You got it at the right spot. and im glad that this moment was captured by your camera.

All the bests...
You did a very memorable job,for yourself and all of us.

Take care,
Stay Green,
Ardalan.


Mary Slade   {K:40918} 1/10/2007
Really like your words of a "ray of hope"- I'll see it like that now Robert. Many thanks and good wishes for 2007...and onwards!


Mary Slade   {K:40918} 1/10/2007
Many thanks Ardalan- the sun being so rare these days I have to chase it however I can!


Anson Moye   {K:3473} 1/11/2007
A great contrast of white hot heat and cooling deep blue sky. The clouds have an etheral quality that is also in stark contrast to the majestic but bare tree. Something spiritual about this photo, Mary. It really moves me. Anson


Mary Slade   {K:40918} 1/12/2007
Many thanks for your great words Anson. The idea of something spiritual about it means much to me.


violetta  tarnowska   {K:23948} 1/12/2007
Mary...

Pleased you liked the leaf Dubravko- thank you.


Ash     {K:9400} 1/19/2007
Wow, great shot! The subject os so simple, yet so stunning. The sun being so low on the horizon truly allows for that wonderful transition from so bright to the deep blue in the sky. And that tree frames the sun so well. Nice work.


Mary Slade   {K:40918} 1/19/2007
Thanks Ashley- glad you like it- rare sighting of the sun these days!


Rafael Almeida   {K:1035} 1/27/2007
A nice silhouette, Mary, See, at this time of year we have to focus on the little bright moments.
Take care

Leora Long   {K:9693} 3/4/2007
Very poetic and spiritual, Mary.
