This is pretty amazing, a lone tree swathed in swirling fog and green hills. Tasmania looks like a beautiful place. Do you live there?

beautiful

great view…wow !!!

What a lovely shot, and I like what you say about it too. The are loners and pack trees too I guess.

Great atmosphere!!

brilliant!

Sensational capture, David. Well done. An instant fave.

who would not want to hug such a giant – a reminder of our need to protect our forests.
Your eucalypt reaches to heaven and the halo would suggest it has a place there.

Worth getting up for – even without the camera. Great capture. The mist and light seem to “giftwrap” or spotlight that central tree. Congrats!

I love your wonderful story as much as the image David.

Brilliant work !!!!!!!!!!

This is absolutely stunning David, it’s so dream like, an amazing capture

I find it heartening to read that you fall over, get saturated socks and boots, and yet, somehow continue. Beautiful photo; I think the lone tree In the mist actually evokes feelings of tenderness – or a similar feeling.

Fantastic capture

This has to be one of my favourite images ever – truly beautiful!

beautiful shot – a wonderful sense of place, and atmosphere

Extraordinary shot David…..so emotional…so Poetic….DIVINE.

Awlays love images of fog scenery. gives a sence of mystery to the photo. This is a really greta example of that mystery. Almost like the top of the tree matreralises out of nothing.

Beautiful shot.

stunning ! as you said ..you do live in a most beautiful land :)

wow ! this is sublime David
I am seduced and just can’t stop admiring the view and that proud tree among the beautiful fog/mist. I also like the subtle trees on the background. All stunning

great photo, the fog around the tree is awesome, very moody!! =)

i see that everyone loves this, as do I but I can’t help but wonderful if it would translate in BW? what are your thoughts?

So sorry, this was not a critique just more of me thinking out loud. I love this image. I do the same, I play around with colors/tones before I decide what translates best.

I like rambling and I love hearing your thoughts :)

I think we can all relate to this tree sometime in our lives!! great shot

Stunning.

Love this David, what a beautiful and unique shot.

very nice

Love the way the morning mist imbues this photograph with softness. The muted tones are lovely.

Utterly haunting. Love the mists and the solitary feel. Fabulous execution!

Wow…

Very cool capture, image jumps off the page at me but is still subtle and natural, well done!

Wow David. Another masterpiece. great work.

magic shot, well done!

amazing work!!

David, that is a stunning result. The thumbnail really said ``Look at me – now’’. It is simple beauty in solitude.

Bravo!

wow David, this one is extremely special. There is a weightlessness in this image.

Love the atmosphere! Is great!

Congratulations! On making the Top Ten in a First Things Group challenge.

This is just fantasic David, love the mood!

Like a balloon taking off…

i keep coming back to look at this image. i love the mist/fog and the lush green behind it and i tend to think of this tree as the leader rather than the loner. it’s just so beautiful how it stands out there and kind of leads the way – letting you know there is reason to pause and take notice of the beauty that is all around us.

Outstanding image David, love the overall quality.
a Fav in my book mate. – Peter

Finally got to the bottom of your comments, had to leave my two cents…. S P E L L B I N D I N G !!!!!

great shot David… it seems that the tree was put later in photoshop!

This is impressively beautiful – Love how the tree really stands out so much against the mist around it as the background and foreground layers also shift out of the mist at the right place too.

great capture, love this one

gives a total sense of peace and harmony fantastic mate !
