    Excellent contrast and composition! Wow!

  • Stuart Chapman

    Stuart Chapman

    The strength of the black and white tones really make this a powerful shot. The lighting from the red is low and rich which causes that great shadow in the centre of the shot and the depth of the bales show off the distance and size of the main tree in the field. A very impressive sky also tops it all off nicely.
