A lone tree sits on a hillside overlooking the countryside of rural Leicestershire. Lone trees like this one tend to be popular subjects for landscape photographers. I'm sure most have several images of these trees. I certainly do! I think the reason for this is the simplicity that they give. You can show a landscape spread out before you, with a focus on just one part of it, giving the picture the best of both worlds. It can be difficult to do something original with this kind of shot, but actually, originality is not always the be-all and end-all. Sometimes it is just as good to take a well-used idea, and use it to the best of your abilities.

Love the sweeping landscape and the tree add that extra something to the scene. Great processing, you get the colour balance and contrast just right!

The dark in the sky bothers me a bit but it is a very nice picture ;)

Good Shot, I would have liked it even more with slightly less saturated colors
