The Tree

I have taken this photo at the cemetery.
He stands between tombs and my inside eye saw the beauty. How he looks in summer?

Like the angle!
Reminds me of "Sleeping Willow" with Jonny Depp..... spooky!

Incredible. They look like they are holding on to each other and don't want to be separated! Amazing that this tree is in the cemetery.

Love the angle of this shot. I think it looks nicer (for the photo atleast) without leaves.

Very cool angle on this shot, and the blue sky works great to showcase the colors of the tree.

This is great! They look like two monumental lovers. I love the symbolism that it's growing at a cemetary.

Excellent. Choice of subject; mood of lighting; composition. The choice of f-stop gives the impression that the leaves are actually falling on the viewer. Again, excellent.

It looks very plasticly, but is so symmetrical --- I don't find this photo harmonic...

Thank you all to your comments... It gives me the immportant opinions to improve myself. But when I thought about this photo I found new view to this shot. Try to pretent the trunks as your legs... Its really strange and weir... If it looks plasticly so it may be caused by strange light and angle of this shot..

My first impression is the same as of Helen's ... it looks as if the two are holding on to each other and never want to let go. Spooky but absolutely great perspective!
