Common Birch

I spotted this during a walk round the back streets of my home town.

Captured against a rather dirty pink wall. I couldn't get the whole tree in the frame, but I quite liked this composition. I liked the vibrant green of the new leaves.

Better viewed large.......I think.

Its almost like one of your table-top studies Keith. I thought a new light-box colour at first :) The partial tree works well as a piece of art here but I do like the small green leaves and that lovely light bark as well. Well done.

Regards. Herb

I'm pleased you like this one Herb.........it's was a difficult shot as there were other houses and vehicles around, which made the scene very untidy.

Thanks for your well thought out and generous comments as always.

I like this natural minimalism, Keith . A beautiful birch composition enhanced by the lovely bright colour of the wall.

j'aime beaucoup cette photo.Le fond rose se marie a merveille avec le vert tendre des feuilles. J'aime beaucoup les bouleaux. C'est un de mes arbres préférés. J'ai la chance qu'ils poussent trés bien dans mon jardin. j'en avais planté plusieurs.Iils sont trés grands maintenant.

That is very impressive! The pink background is so unusual, and it really lets the birch trunk and the young, slightly yellowy green leaves stand out. It's fantastic.

That colourful wall is the perfect backdrop for the soft green leaves and the shape of the birch, very well seen!
