Oak in blue - last one

Astrid Lied, on April 18, 2007, said:

Does last one mean you'll never photograph this tree again? Somehow, I don't quite believe that...

PS: Lovely shot!

Snemann, on April 18, 2007, said:

well, I might.. But I also think that this tree has had more than its 15 minutes here, and that it is time I started showing other trees as well.

Eve in Montana, on April 18, 2007, said:

But, this is one of the most photogenic trees I've ever seen! I've been away for a couple of weeks, as always, it's a pleasure seeing the photos you've posted lately. Thank you for the complement on mine.

Matthew Walters, on April 19, 2007, said:

Beauty lies in simplicity... This is one of the most impressive photos I've ever seen.

Snemann, on April 26, 2007, said:

Thank you so much, dancer. It really is a tree that demands attention, and gives inspiration.

that is one fantastic picture. i love the deep blue with the perfect composition of the tree along with it being silohoutted!

I also love how the branches flow up with the sky that is also flowing upwards.

Snemann, on August 26, 2007, said:

Thanks Mikka, I am sure you will find others photos here equal to this, though. How did you find it btw - just a little curious..

M.A.Niemi, on August 26, 2007, said:

I was just watching photos from southern Norway and this was one of the most popular photos.

There are lots of great photos from Norway and it's totally different country than Finland.

Anyway, thanks for sending this photo :)

I lived there for one year; it's so great to see some picture from that place!

Now I am back in Paris, France. I miss this tree.

Do you live in As? Any picture of the Pentagon or As city?

By the way: great image!

You captured the moment on this one quite brilliantly. This is a really nice picture. It's obvious that you have quite a bit of photographic talent. I tip my hat.

erik van den Ham, on November 4, 2007, said:

Hello Snemann,

Amazing shot it almost look like the branches from the tree arrange the clouds. Is this the way you took the picture or did you do so editingon the blue coloring? Anyway it is a wonderful picture.

Cheers Erik

Snemann, on November 4, 2007, said:

Thank you erik. I have to admit that the blue colour is thanks to Photoshop, but I thought it important to show the cloud formations in a better way than in the naturally coloured picture. The really look like they emanate from the tree, don't they.

erik van den Ham, on November 4, 2007, said:

With some imagination you could even see it the other way round. Like someone took the tree and used it as a giant paintbrush to paint a perfect sky.

nice tree shot, snemann! thanks for entering the competition :) please note the new competition rule #3 and add a comment to your entry simply noting the use of blue coloration (based on your comment of november 4 above). thanks and good luck, brian

Brian W. Schaller, on March 7, 2008, said:

hi snemann,

thanks for entering the contest! when you get a chance, please cast your vote for up to 5 entrants right in the contest forum thread where you posted your photo. see rule #4 for details.

also, please re-read (i trust you read all the rules once already ;) rules #5/6 about the counting process, according to which all contestants are expected to play a small part in counting, unless they have a good excuse and cannot attend to their duty when the time comes (from the 22nd to the 24th) which i've been told is Easter weekend (saturday - monday)! if you require just a couple days after the 24th, then it is OK.

thanks again and good luck! :) cheers, brian
