Photographer's Note
I really don't know what to write about this one. It was shot near two of my earlier posts of a dolmen and a rock. It shows a little copse of brooms and oaks, which I think are Quercus pyrenaica.
I have posted a WS with a close-up of sprouts of that kind of oak.
I have been too busy these days and so I haven't been much of a TE'recker lately :-(. In fact I have been working so much that it seems like months that I don't pay attention to TE. And next Saturday I'll be away on holidays (hurrah! ;-)...
If I can't post anything before that, "see you" in one in a half week.
You can browse all my posts taken this day on this region on this "travelogue".

Great composition with the clouds and the tree. The colors of the ground are plain but gorgeous. Such a great photograph of such a simple scene. I enjoyed it very much.
Happy holidays ;)

Bonjour Jose,
c'est tout simplemnt superbe,
une scène qui ne pouvait bien donner qu'avec des lumières bien gérées et des couleurs fortes.
Deux choses que j'adore, un arbrte solitaire et un ciel magnifique.
Bien vu.
Regards.
Daniel.

Tres belle celle-la, tres bien composee. J'adore l'effet du polariseur sur les nuages bien surs qui sont vraiment top, mais aussi sur l'ensemble des tons de l'image. Superbe.

Olá José! Eu sou apaixonado por árvores solitárias e gosto muito desta tua imagem. Está muito bem composta e as cores do céu estão espectaculares. A exposição não era fácil e tu controlaste-a bem. Acho no entanto que podias ter puxado um pouco mais pela imagem na edição, especialmente na parte inferior que está um pouco escura. Deixo um workshop. Grande foto!

Olá José,
A composição é muito boa, com poucos elementos conseguíste uma bela imagem, certamente que esse belo céu também ajudou bastante.Boa cor e contraste, faltou-lhe um pouco mais de luz o que poderia ter sido corregido com WS, conforme fez o Luís.
Um abraço,
filipe

The tree has a wonderful shape against the blue sky and those puffy little clouds are lovely, brought out so well with the polariser. Where did you decide to go on holiday in the end? I hope you have a good time.

Hi, my friend!
Very nice photo. I very like your composition with all nature. I very like your beautiful colours and light. Well done. Beautiful sky. Last week I was in Portugal - Lisboa, Sintra, Fatima. I have many photos with your beautiful country.

Olá José,
Gosto muito desse rendilhado da árvore contra o céu luminoso, com diferentes tipos de nuvens.
O Luís fez um workshop espectacular; se o resultado é mais próximo da realidade, então o trabalho dele merece um grande aplauso.
Eu talvez cortasse essa zona de terra em primeiro plano; distrai um pouco a atenção para a árvore. Se calhar vou fazer um ws simples só para ver o efeito.
Um abraço e boas férias, e boas fotos (para depois vermos aqui).

There is a kind of harmony here : the clouds, the tree, the path, the colors... Everything seems to be important, at the right place... I can undestand you shot and posted it.

Hi José,
I like much this tree which is detached magnificiently on this judiciously polarized sky. One would believe in an imaginary landscape. The colors are superb and harmonious. It is very pleasant to look at, cheer José.
With all my friendships and a good evening,
Jean-Charles

Olá José!
Aqui em Minas Gerais temos paisagens muito semelhantes a essa também, com o terreno cheio de pedras. A foto ficou ótima com destaque pro céu e a árvore.
Parabéns e Abraço!

Hi Jose,
What makes this shot for me are the individual white fluffy clouds scattered throughout the sky and the lonesome tree. I like your off centre composition of the tree and the path which leads us round the shot. A well taken shot with nice natural colours and good sharpness.
Enjoy your holiday!
Regards
Wanda

Oi José!
Gostei da imagem tridimensional que você conseguiu através do céu. Em terra, muitas texturas e cores bonitas, e o sujeito principal com todas as merecidas honras. Muito boa composição.
Abraços,

Olá José,
very clear and sharp, the structure of the oak is wonderful visible and the oak has a great surrounding with all those colours. Also helps the position on a small slope to create a very pleasant composition.
Lieben Gruss, Ulf

Hi Jose, a very fine detailled piece of nature, the tree naked pulling all the attention but we can discover moreover all the variety of colors by the vegetation, the path, the rocks as forplan towards the wide blue not overexposed cloudy sky where you choice of lens gives that extra dramatic converging sense, well done
greetings

Merhaba José, my friend...
It's a wonderful and very affective ambience... The shape of the tree is great... Wonderful colors and light too... The sky, the clouds, the point of view and the contrast between the colors are perfect...
TFS...
Stay well..

Hello Mr. Oak, I hope you and your family are having a wonderful time in Boca Chica and that meeting with Emile will be a wonderful experience.
Your oak images are always something very special. The texture that you achieved in this one are something most beautiful. Not quite sure what you did to achieve it but it almost looks like 3-D. Certainly the polarizer helped out but there must be something additional to that.

Hello Josè,
the composition is pretty good here. The tree is perfectly placed in the frame and what I like a lot, are the "cotton balls" falling from the very nice sky. Very nice one!
Tfs and enjoy your holidays!

Hello José,
This is one of your finest photos -- not only for the subject, but as a work of art. The composition and colors are first rate, as are the definition and perspective. I intend to put this among my favorites, as soon as I can reclaim some space. I truly like this photo.
I'm back from almost a month away from TE. The Mediterranean cruise was rejuvenating, and I am in possession of a myriad photos that I will submit...gradually. The new book is taking a great deal of time. I heard from paura that the new Portuguese/Brazilian edition of 'A Matematica e. a Mona Lisa' is doing very well.
Warmest regards, my good friend,
Bulent

Hi Jose,
This is nice. Love the perspective you have here. The lonely tree is amazing, standing out by itself. The little cloud also add interesting result there. Well done

Hola Jose,
Nos muestras un paisaje sencillo pero que lo has captado de una forma perfecta, con una luz bien equilibrada y unos colores muy naturales, me gusta la composición y los contrastes de la tierra, el cielo es el perfecto complemento para este buen trabajo.
Saludos
