Der Baum

I created this image on a cold and atmospheric morning during late autumn in the Middle Rhine area of Germany. The conditions were so good that it created a sense of panic in me, not being sure where to point the camera and running around like a headless chicken. I had a sense of missing out on other opportunities, a fear that most photographers probably experience, however I decided to focus my attention on this particular tree as the delicate light complemented the texture in the branches. The background colour created a wonderful palette which allowed the tree to stand out without being overshadowed by the autumnal hues.
