sitting around the tree of life

Nice restful pic, Marie. It looks like they are waiting for something, or just passing the day under the tree.

Well! life will be short if they keep puffing on those smokes. Nice shot Marie, with a nice effect. Hmmmmmmmm interesting tree by the way.

Sandy took the words right out of my mouth! Sitting around the tree of life trying to shorten it!

this is a nice pic but the tonality is very flat. no rich blacks or whites but if that was what you wanted then it has been achieved. in my opinion it needs a bit more contrast.

thank you very much Pio , Sandy , Alan and Richard

you are right Pio, they were waiting for a bus which was coming to collect them to bring them back to the city
this was close to the mourne mountains up North, about 80 miles away from their homes.
they were on a day's outing

maybe it's like that Richard, because the sun was shining into the camera
I blocked the bright light slightly ...with the help of the tree

I suppose they were having a last smoke before they got on the bus Alan and Sandy.
no one is allowed smoke once on board
or in any places indoors (public houses restaurants etc )
must be awful hard for those trying to give up smoking
especially at that age

glad you thought the tree was interesting Sandy

Laughed my head off when I saw this...'cos I took one just like it today Now what am I going to call mine???

Great picture BTW...and I like it in B&W too.

Marie. Congratulations on your first Fireground Photo!:p
