An amazing image. It makes me feel old though.

Rooted, no matter, still carrying the weight of the world.
A fine, evocative image. Cheers!

Excellent image Sharon…I love Pink Floyd!
I like very much the composition .
The mist gives an air of mystery.

There are many interesting aspects to this. The winding path, the fog, the man and the mist. You have a little Hitchcock in you. Great Image

Strong picture... The Pink Floyd's song like an "echoe" in my ears... Nice !

Super. The tree spreading out like that behind the old fellow really gives a feeling of his thoughts, worries, imagination spreading out.

It seems that the tree grows out of the old man's head. I think the tree and the branches represent the man's life and age. There will be new leaves on the tree soon, but there's no turning back for the old man.
Great shot :)

Wow, this is a powerful image statement. I've also enjoyed reading some of the comment/interpretations posted today. Creativity all around.

Kind of a lonely scene. Beautiful with the fog.
24 Nov 2008 1:12pm
Mmm you did it again! Fabulous mood, intriguing moment, solitary, strong and lovely
24 Nov 2008 2:25pm
Poewrful! The men bring the tree... It's a perfect photo.

Is it an art? Fading, not getting old.
Fabulous image, anyway.

The splendid symbolic painting. Fantastic game of branches of tree over the passer-by head. Great B & W!

really beautifully handled. makes me want to look at if for a long time.

Wonderfully powerful, full of possible stories, mixed emotions, daydreams and memories. Atmospheric, moody.

Exceptionnal emotion, this dark silhouette with this huge brain.
We are under the impression that we are in his body and head :)

So much complexity and finally lowered the head to follow this line so simple which returns us in a sure way, in any discretion, to us...
Your eye is magic, it sees itself Bravo ;)

Reminds me to look forward to the fogs and mists season . . the change in a well-known landscape or the illusions they bring about is difficult to believe. Funny how, when you are carrying a tree, the road always seems uphill !

Very nice misty tones. Depressing shot but yet wonderous! =D

Wonderful, and I love the title. It's sad to think that we fade, but perhaps it isn't as frightening as growing old. Beautiful, provocative image. (and pink is one of my favorite groups ever!)

Captivating image. Love all the foggy background and deep tones. Once again, the black and white processing is great for this image.
25 Nov 2008 2:58am
such a wonderful and deep capture, the guys looks like he has the weight of the wold on his shoulders
25 Nov 2008 3:53am
Terrific shot and timing. The tree that is behind gentleman looks like it is a part of him.
(awesome)
25 Nov 2008 4:27am
love it - this common snapshot error becomes a great composition in your hands!
25 Nov 2008 4:28am
The heavy fog and the big tree gives a nice atmosphere. This man looking down seems very lonely...
25 Nov 2008 4:35am
This photo works on so many levels, that have been pointed out my comments before me. Awesome!
25 Nov 2008 4:57am
There is a fantastic mood in this one, it looks like the guy has something really heavy on his mind!
25 Nov 2008 6:12am
The background is absolutly remarkable ! a great atmosphere !
25 Nov 2008 8:10am
What can I say... this is just perfect! The timing, the composition, the tone and most important of all, the depth of feeling!
25 Nov 2008 3:02pm
Lone tree; lone person...perfect in the fog.
26 Nov 2008 3:09am
A cold and lonely image, a man in the cold with his thoughts, very moving!
26 Nov 2008 4:09am
I kinda missed this one. This is DEFINITELY your best shot, in my book. Incredible atmosphere, perfect moment, composition, processing, everything. I'm not easily impressed, but I wish I took this one.
