"I'm cutting branches from the trees
Shaped by years of memories
To exorcise their ghosts from inside of me"

A perfect illustration to those words. The bright lighting of the trees in the foreground really emphasizes the feeling of ghosts from the memories shaped by the branches.

excellent bw
love how the top of the trees turns into white to have a prefect separation from the black background

How wonderfully tiny is the figure . . there is a strange mystery about this shot which sends the thoughts spinning around.

The contrast between the light trees and the background is very well rendered and gives that dreamlike feeling that is in accordance with the poem.

So near of a negative.......Love Your picture,Sharon....

There's such a sense of sadness in this great frame. An overwhelming melancholy of the bare tree branches that is so mighty beautiful, Sharon. And your imagery never fails to hypnotize me. Brilliant! All the best & safe travels, Fritsch.

The lone figure with the wheelbarrow is an excellent element in this composition. The overall shot has an infrared feel, ith the white grass.

Cuando el negro profundo juega el papel de dar profundidad a la escena, nace la fotografía. Genial

A wonderful..dreamy image. I can imagine a whole story being crafted from it.

A superb dreamscape, in B&W. Beautiful. And the man and wheelbarrow does the trick.

Gorgeous shot! i love the light and contrasts of b/w in the trees and the distance. I love the inclusion of the man and the wheelbarrow.

This silhouette in delicate motion seems out of a classic painting, i love it...
And the quote makes us go back to the image thinking so deeply, trees are so tall compared to the little brave man working to help his ghosts out. Love the beautiful white (like irradiated) trees on the black and deep background. A very powerful poetry about a harsh freedom in brave process.
Have a very good week, Sharon*

The light seems coming from the trees, and the B/W seems a "negative" or like an IR picture. A wonderful balance of the light !
Kind regards

Wonderful shot. All that white makes it almost look like an IR photo. Great work.

Beautiful fine detail and lovely contrast. Charming!

I am moved by the feeling of distance...the tiny images of the tables and of the human image.
It does speak of memories as your title suggest, and of nostalgia. A lovely image.

très jolie scène, avec cette minuscule silhouette au travail.

This is so very beautiful and fits the quote perfectly. I love the mood and soft tones. It reminded me of a painting.

beautiful winter scene with these iced branches. I like the dark wall of the trees!

The black and white adds to the contrast between the snow and the trees. Great shot.

Even winter has its contrasts .. this is very lovely.

Beautiful word to accompany this wonderful image. I love the touch of dreaminess in it.

The silence of the winter calls the memories.
The solitude becomes a friend.
