Alone with myself
The trees bend to caress me
The shade hugs my heart.

Beautifully done. The two persons add life to this wonderful place!

I like this cold mood at the lake, the naked trees and the walking pair in front of the water surface.
Poetic image!

The young couple looks so confident in their walk, that those three trees really must give them the feeling of giving them shelter by caresses and hugs from everything in the world. There is a wonderful story in this photo and words!

I love that delicate compo of yours made of Nature & Human fabric, your mono is so emotional, the dark trees in the backdrop give so much depth and the whole "painting" as a romantic feel i enjoy. Have a romantic week (if possible, we'll give it a hard try ;) and thanks for this tale (2 people/a couple & a third soul, absent & included at the same time through the trees, love that).

The location has a warm familiarity about it and I can understand why you are drawn back to it. Makes for such an accommodating stage-set for these studies of human nature.

@Ronnie 2¢: Believe it or not this is an entirely different location. I usually find myself at Lost Lagoon in the city, but this is out of Vancouver and into Burnaby, a place called Deer Lake. Funny how I manage to imitate Lost Lagoon though :)
Perfecta geometría y composición. Los tres árboles dividiendo la escena en vertical y los planos superpuestos dividen en horizontal. Genial
Un blanco y negro denso, de calidad y admirable.
Cordiales saludos

And... what did they tell you Sharon ? I guess they've been the witnesses of many love stories and promises.

Excellent! I sense not just an image but also a story.

A tale of Three Trees: A love story. This is a beautiful and enchanting scene.

A romantic and sweetly moody image. I find a perfect balance throughout the frame, and am reminded anew about the blessings in my own life, bestowed by love.

Beautiful black and white photo of a very reflective. Have a nice day :)

Have a nice day.

There are moments when we spy couples and envy them. Because of the location, because they look happy. And that's the kind of feeling one can have there...

The beauty of this image is simply breathtaking! The frame is divided perfectly, the sense of scale is wonderful but above all it's your tonal range achieved no doubt by brilliant processing that makes this such a great work for me!!

Very nice; there is so much to discover in this photo

The three trees give a sense of order and ease. Lovely black and white shot.

Before I read your title I was thinking how the trees look like triplets. Looks like a great place for a walk.

very nice atmosphere ,great quiet place !
kiss !

These trees have seen so many people go by and heard so many conversations. Perhaps, it's just as well they can't talk. ;-) A beautiful composition with layers of dark and light.

Wonderful shot--great romantic mood and beautiful composition.

These trees are absolutely majestic!! Love the mood you've captured/created here.
20 Apr 2011 11:37am
I love the framing here with the trees. It all comes together all so well.
20 Apr 2011 3:33pm
The small people give the trees a sense of perspective...
21 Apr 2011 8:15pm
I like the geometry of the threes trees and two benches and the near-silhouette of the young couple. How many others have been at that same place, shared their hopes and dreams--and allowed the trees to hear it all? Nicely done, Sharon--and a great starter for many stories!

Excellent composition of a scene of relaxation and love with a b & w of authentic luxury,
Greetings!

looks like the couple just finished hanging out by the lake.. beautiful mono shot.. :)
24 Apr 2011 7:37pm
Very peaceful image. I like the horizontal zones.

There's a sense of loneliness while being together that never fails to impress. Both side always so close by each other. Not only a philosphical frame but a kind of meditation. Brilliant, Sharon!
All the best & safe travels,
Fritsch.

A wonderful, three-section composition. I really like the mood of the moment ...
