Hello Ike,
It's a very simple and straightforward composition (and not much else could be done), but the tree is so elegant and majestic that it easily fills the frame, especially considering the bright blue background.
Regards,
Gert

Hi Ike
Wow! this tree is unusual never seen before, and i can imagine it's higher than the my ceiling! A simple but strong image indeed showing the stylish branches system in such a unique patterns and the view-point you chose works very well indeed. The colours scheme is mouth watering on a bright sunny day and I like the way you include that bit of foreground details. It's unique, and brilliant! Congrats and tfs
Best regards

Dobro vece.
Lep pocetak dana sa cvecem, lep pogled na agavu ...
Dobar trenutak snimka i kontrast, lepo pokazana agava i trenutak sa svetlom koje je istaklo lepotu cvetova.
Prijatno vece i mirna noc, sve najbolje.
Paja.

Good evening.
Nice start of the day with flowers, a nice view of the agave ...
Good time recording and contrast nicely demonstrated agave and a moment of light that pointed out the beauty of flowers.
Good evening and peaceful night, all the best.

Hello Ike,
It looks very much in place, I wonder if these plants would spread naturally in the wilderness. Nice POV with wonderfully blue sky.

Hi Ike,

The height of the tree is giving perspective to the composition. The point of view is showing the details of the tree. The good luminosity is enhancing the colors. Have a nice day.

ourania (51103) 2014-09-09 6:48

Hello Ike,
I don't know much about this plant, it looks very tall and slender and the tops of the adjacent plants help us apprehend the scale. It stands elegantly in your vertical frame and the homogeneous blue backdrop sets it off superbly. A fine graphical composition with excellent sharpness and light management. Congratulations and thank you!
All the best, have a great afternoon,
Ourania

Very common sight in Southern Nevada, I like the simplicity of this composition using the sky as the background. Good lighting and sharp details with wonderful colors. Well done, tfs.

Hello Ike
I photographed some of those last winter in Florida, by dull weather though, and considered by then those leaves growing only at the end of branches could be considered as squirrel nest built symmetrically for designing the majestic look of the Agava.
Thanks for showing.
Shalom.
Robert

danos (110407) 2014-09-09 23:31

Hi Ike,
nice the view from this POV of Agave with its height of five meters to looks even more huge.I like the well chosen POV as outline perfect against the blue of the sky.

Have a good day,Danos

Hello Ike,

beautiful colors, crisp sharpness and a photo subject, which I so far did not know. Again, I've learned something new. Probably the most important reason to be a member of TrekEarth.

Best wishes and a nice evening

Excellent composition.

Hi Ike,

Looking at this fragile branch I couldn抰 imagine it is 5 m high.
Lovely contrast between sunlight and shadow in front of the amazing blue.

Hello Ike.
An extraordinary example of agave. It is a plant that decorates nicely the coasts of the Mediterranean, here silhouetted against the blue sky as pride shines with all its grandeur.
Very good brightness and sharpness, with beautiful colors.
Well seen and done better. I like it
Have a nice day.
All the best.
Luis.

Hi Ike,

The blue sky makes a superb backdrop to the agava plant and enhances the graphic element. Good sharpness and excellent color, density levels and saturation. Punchy light contrasts and smart choice of a vertical frame to accentuate the height. Tfs!

Regards, have a nice week.

Un'inflorescenza di "agave" che svetta sul cieolo saturo. Vicinanza del mare ?
