FLOWERS TO CRISTIANE, a photo from Parana, South

Photographer's Note

Ipê-amarelo tree (Tabebuia chrysotricha or other) is one of the most famous Brazilian trees, its flowers are considerate as the flower symbol of Brazil. It is a tree we can find in many regions of Brazil, the ones in my homeland were planted by humans and I never saw them inside a forest here.
These row of trees were planted many years ago and the area became a cereal field nowadays , but fortunately the owner preserved these trees.
You can see the very young winter corn plantation killed by the frost around.
A week before I take this photo, and a dozen of meters far of this place, occurred an accident with a group of young people, a sweet girl named Cristiane died, these flowers are for her, who said me hello at each morning when I opened my shop.
.............

O ipê-amarelo (Tabebuia chrysotricha ou outro nome) é uma das árvores mais famosas do Brasil, suas flores são consideradas como símbolo do nosso país. É uma árvore que pode ser encontrada em várias partes do Brasil. Essas aqui foram plantadas pelas mãos humanas num lugar que depois virou campo de cereais, felizmente ninguém as cortou. Geralmente as árvores dessa espécie que eu vejo aqui são sempre plantadas, nunca as vi crescendo na mata.
Na foto as árvores estão em plena floração no meio jovem plantação de milho completamente queimada pela geada.
Uma semana antes que eu tirasse essa foto, poucos metros distante desse lugar, aconteceu o acidente que matou nossa amiga Cristiane. Essa é minha homenagem à garota que me dizia alô todos os dias de manhã ao passar diante da minha porta indo para o trabalho.

Hello Jorge,
This is an elegant and well balanced composition with a fine simplicity and mild colours. The yellow trees are really beautiful and they benefit from the good light. This photo is a fine tribute to the girl who sadly died here.
Best regards,
Gert

Hello Jorge,

No doubt some of your regular customers are almost like extended family and would be sorely missed as was the case with this tragic accident suffered by Cristiane. The yellow flowers and blue sky are a perfect match. Tfs!

Hello Jorge,

An interesting, if sad, note accompanies you well composed photograph.
The yellow trees are strongly placed standing out vibrantly against the ruined corn plants.

My warm regards,
Bev :-)

Hi Jorge,

The yellow leaves are eye-catching. The point of view is showing the details the field and of the trees. The light is giving nice tints to the colors. Have a nice day.

Hello Jorge,
A nice view over the fields and those trees are very well included in the left hand side. Their bright yellow flowers are really attractive and they look great against the blue sky.

Hi Jorge,
This is such a sad story but a beautiful dedication! The view is so photogenic with the group of small trees blooming brightly. They stick out of the crops niecely and you have well placed them off the centre.
Excellent composition,
M

Hello Jorge,
Such a contrast between the ipê-amarelo trees and the frost-damaged corn - nice photo verging on minimalism.
