Lone tree in limestone pavement country

Lone tree in limestone pavement country
One from our Yorkshire Dales here, not far from the village of Settle. Taken on our short break up here in 2020. I thought the monochrome brought out the stark countryside that abounds around here. These rocks are know as Limestone Pavement.

Essential full screen.

ps days later we were in Covid Lock-down

I'm very partial to a lone tree shot.............and this one is superb! I like the graphic shape of the tree and the wonderfully textured foreground. Perfect in monochrome.

Love it..!!

A powerful picture in mono, and the stones are amazing!
All the best, Rosa.

A great subject for mono I would think B&W would work well also
10 months ago.
Herb Riddle club has replied to Peter Castell club
A subtle but real difference between monochrome and B&W I know Peter. This has been done using Silver Efex Pro 2. I am pretty sure it turns the photo into a pure greyscale image of 255 colours (main shades that can then be adjusted in luminance) then simply shifts the tone to eg this or other sepia look-alikes. I could just as easily made this in a more simpler greyscale or what some people may call pure B&W.

Glad you liked it -whatever.

One of your (and mine) fave kind of trees, Herb - the ones that get to maturity despite all the odds in a bleak landscape - and there's none so bleak as karst!
