I was in Columbia Park (on the Columbia River) doing senior portraits. After I finished I waited around to see what the sunset would be like. I'm glad I did. This is about 5 miles from home.
Very picturesque. I like it, but can't help wondering what it would look like if the tree and slope were on the right facing left opposite the mountains on the horizontal.
well...My gosh! lol, you manage to blown me away every single time with your photos. love the compo with the tree and the feel of loneliness and melancholy it provoque.
just amazing Michael!^^
Your work is so beautiful. Its hard to pick just which one I like best. You have such amazing lighting and composition in your work. Just lovely.

Popeye
You say you were doing 'senior portraits' ... High school or AARP?
If one were to assume that you've done the bulk of your photo work on 'film', do you scan from prints now individually or have you had your negs/slides scanned in bulk by a service. Just curious.
Anyone can see this is a beautiful and wonderfully composed scene, but what I REALLY like is the light splashing on just the top of the tree. It was the perfect timing for this shot, well done.
I also wanted to thank you for the wonderful compliment on Newnan's Nightfall. I'm very glad you enjoyed it and are able to use it as a desktop. The praise means an aweful lot coming from you~
A very stunning image! But what a lonely tree it is. I guess it has a lot to say for stamina in a diverse situation. All of the elements and none of the love! A well captured image indeed.
Sparkling angel I believed
you were my saviour in my time of need.
Blinded by faith I couldn’t hear
all the whispers, the warnings so clear.
I see the angels,
I’ll lead them to your door.
There’s no escape now,
no mercy no more.
No remorse cause I still remember
the smile when you tore me apart.
You took my heart,
deceived me right from the start.
You showed me dreams,
I wished they would turn into real.
You broke the promise and made me realise, it was all just a lie........ (Angels-Within Temptation)
I don’t know how I missed seeing this one before. I love the colours and composition but it’s the lighting that makes it something special. If you can’t sell this there is something wrong!
