Hi Paolo,
Amazing composition. I liked both versions and your workshop. The silhouettes are looking great in the colorful background.
Thanks for sharing
Well done.

Hi Paolo
A fantastic b&w lithograph, with marvellous graphism & sharpness. Well composed also, & a logical choice of a vertical frame. Tfs!

Olα Paolo, seems like a painting made with 'chinese paint' - I don't if this is the correct name, but I used it a lot in school to draw trees...Graphically is very attractive. The color version is also fantastic, but more normal I guess. Very nice desaturation experiment.
Ciao,

Ciao Paolo,
what an interesting work. A lot unusual but very attractive. The minimalism here was well presented. Simple and effective in its purpose: making us reflect about the simplicity of things. I really like that!
Regards,
Carlos

Ciao Paolo,
I see you like them strong desaturations too:-). I love it. The original is very nice but this is so expressive. Beautiful trees reaching for the light, ankered in the earth. I like the compo with the trees on one side and the mount on the other. So minimalistic. Superb.

Hello Paolo,
You really are an artist with a camera. The Impressionists artists were avid photographers themselves and really enjoyed doing lavish experiments with their (low tech) cameras. You are certainly continuing their tradition. This is a marvelous image and one that would do very well in a fine-art exhibit. Photo judges have really seen it all and I believe that many of them would find this abstract photo refreshing and fascinating. Very creative work!

Ciao Paolo,
This much desaturation is the last thing i would expect from a mostly saturated member like you. Experimenting in digital photography is always good, and can result in such interesting visions. This is like a cartoon, and your excellent composition is still striking.
Ciao ciao,

Hi Paolo,
Interesting B&W rendition using stark contrast and mainly just relying of forms from the tree to create interest. Well composed ... I like the over sharpening effect as it created some texture! tfs
Cheers,
Renier
