I know that some don't think that a B&W image should be displayed with a color image. But for those who do, the winter shot was shot in color and not converted to monochrome.

Spring and winter are gorgeous! Love them both.

Unfortunately, the 4 don't quite work for me as a series because summer and fall are different aspect ratio from 1 and 2, and shot from a different perspective.

I think this is a fantastic idea and more folks should pursue it.

The change of seasons are defiantly portrayed here. It appears 1,2 and 3,4 are more alike but not all four together. Maybe dial back a bit on spring but thats just personal taste for me boberic. All in all a nice concept.

I like the concept here. Winter and Spring really show the beauty of this tree. I'm OK with the B&W. Nice job bobrirc.

As often as such series are shot and shown, I'm always a sucker for them in that they acknowledge the absolute individuality of an organism fixed in place and, perforce, having to endure and grow in its ordained spot on the Earth's surface. A daunting charge...and impressive performance in its place! And your rendering of this tree's performance in its place is a joy to behold!

Thank you or that thoughtful reply...Thanks all for your critique and kind remarks

I really do love trees, and how they change drastically throughout the year.

It would be EXTREMELY difficult to pull off, but I've had kind of the same idea, with a twist. (but of course, never got around to it.

I would love to try getting the same tree at the exact same angle during 4 seasons, then put them together in a composite where the tree "fades" from one season to the next.

An interesting idea. Never occurred to me aside from the fact that I have not the slightest idea how to do it.

Me either, other than taking a junk tripod and somehow fixing it to the ground so it doesn't move for a year. ( :roll: )

No tripod. Just lucky. This tree just happens to be about 75 feet from my front door. I just stand in my door way and shoot.

I've always wanted to do something like this; but don't have your patience. I like the winter shot the best; but it is great to see how this one tree changes completely depending on season. A really interesting study. Well done.

Thank you (my wife will tell you that by nature I am not a patient person)
