This is terrific: the way the eye leads through the photo by the rhythm of the trees, back to the house in the background. And of course the light is wonderful.

Stunning! How do you see this? I mean how could it be more everyday views, but this foto is exceptually good.

@lux: thanks lux. this is literally an everyday scene for me. it's what is in front of me when i step out of my car at the end of the day. i've actually been trying for some time - to the amusement of my neighbor - to get a shot of these trees, in this early evening light, that works. this is as close as i've come.

Very nice! The grass doesn't look real. Not a weed in sight.

@jeff (aka dogilicious): my next door neighbor's yard... mine would look more "real." :-)

the play of light and shade is wonderful; looks like a diptych.

you cant beat a square format image sometimes. Such a great study in texture, light, line and pattern.

Great use of shadows and close up (of trees) that create an interesting tension with what is behind them. Exceptional mood and yet I can’t quite define it.

I like the exposure and processing that has given the bark a light, appealing look as contrasted to dark trees which are so frequently seen. Nice composition too. Well done.

A stunning, a perfect Black and White photo. Your persistence has paid off (and your neighbor should be happy!). The trees and lawn and shadows---perfectly captured. I'm envious...it is often SO difficult to get these simple subjects captured just the way you envision them. Lovely composition and textures!

@Dulcie: thank you dulcie

I don't get a "message" of any kind from this image Grant...... BUT it is so nice to look at! I love it! A fav!

@Bill: thank very much bill. (it takes several hours of looking before the message is revealed.)

Looks like some beautiful old shade trees. Light and shadows wonderful as always.

what? Bill doesn't get it. the message is mind blowing.
okay kidding at Bill's expense aside - i love this - it's my new favorite. i love the space relationship between those trees and the fabulous 3 echo in the gate or whatever that is on the back right - and of course the house partially seen.
