Description
There used to be gardens where we live now.
These snow-covered stumps used to be fruit trees.
Thank you for looking.

very fine graphic image, nikolay
I can't figure it out but I'm having fun trying to!
Nothing wild about being dead is there? Those stumps say a lot. Your image has the quality of a fine pen and ink drawing. Well done my friend.
SUPERB!
Magnificent!
Of course, I don't know the circumstances surrounding the garden and trees, I can see this as an allegory of life. It is an excellent image, and an instant favorite, Nikolay.
Super Bild
Хорошая композиция!!!
Moving and sad - the title is enough of a context. great conversion to black and white you did very good work here in vision and technique.
Beautiful image but a sad statement on life.
Awesome abstract! Looks like an old wood block print.
special and creative my friend
A very beautiful abstract. I like it.
Very nice work!
Wonderful image!
excellent postwork. it's a bit of a shame because of the lost trees...
Buena síntesis, muy crativo.
I agree with all these comments, Tim has it, Suzanne, Helle, etc. It's sad, yes, but also somewhat defiant, like the stump is stating its existence with great force. And it's amazing how you take shots and turn them into stark abstracts like this, and allow them their eloquence as well. In pieces like this, you do things with camera-images that can only be called photographic painting, or better, photographic 'thinking': This is like thought as much as imagery. The few lines you allow here are articulation enough, and the broad white plane makes this stump's cry all the more powerful. Sad & defiant & powerful (and I even like the little lines that spill over the frame on the left: A little bit of jazz breaking through!] More fine work, Nikolay, powerfully done.
Point well made with an elegant graphic.
Stark, to me, a slice of life. But life is not always black and white, we have to remember that. A wonderful, almost abstract view.
Original and very interesting post work.
fantastic, absolutly wonderful, nikolay! we have the same cut tree stumps around here but, i would never have thought of making such a fascinating minimalistic image of them! love it!
