How sharp and powerful ! You know so well how to play with the whole palette of lights, from foggy mood to luminous like this one, always with oh-so great silhouettes everyone can fabulously relate to.

Your photos, coupled with your titles always make me sit and wonder. I devise entire stories in my head when I look at your photos. This one was especially time consuming for me. If you don't stop producing such compelling photographs, I'll have to delete everyone else and only have time to come here.

With that title - Makes it very sad.
I love the composition here, when on both side of the frame you have this half trees which almost look like the complete each other, same shape.
Very nicely done.
