WoW, Herb. Die Birke ruft den Himmel an...Viele Grüße, Bleib gesund!

Nochmal, vielen dank Lothar. Ein Lieblingsbaum für mich.

Bleib gesund auch. Herbert

wonderful cloud formations!

WOW, superb this tree against this beautiful cloudy sky !!!

Those clouds are amazing Herb

Glad you liked them Nick.

Keep good. Herb

This solitary birch is a beauty set off by that wonderful sky!

I thought so too. This sky was a god-send here and a very rare scene this Winter/Spring. Cheers for the call.

and the sky is fantastic

Fantastique....!

A beautiful tree with beautiful light and super sky. Super lighting on tree presented perfect this years winner so far ⭐
Stay safe TOZ

Glad you liked it here Toz. A slight variation on the other posting. This tree quite often looks good, once you actually notice it, but in this light it was super. Cheers for the star.
Look after yourself. Herb

I would have a difficult job in choosing my favourite of these three shots Herb. They are different but equally beautiful. Wow, that sky is amazing!! Three big stars! Cheers, Rosa.

I would too Rosa, as they all show a different light and view but it is the tree that makes the difference. Cheers for the 3 stars!

Keep safe. Herb

Yes a lovely tree and snowy landscape, but that sky with the tangled cirrus really strikes home to me. Magical.

Amazing sky and a superb image Herb

Glad you liked it Roger.

I love all three of these Herb............but this has to be my fave. I like that you've reduced the amount of foregrount in the frame to show off that stunning blue sky and the cloud formations.

An extraordinary shot sir!

Ah Keith, I suspect that I don't actually have to do that much for you to like my work but I do enjoy reading your appraisals. Yes, I tried a few p.o.v's and camera lens distances but liked this the best. The sky was a giant bonus. I wonder if I shall ever get a better shot of this tree?

Keep safe. Herb

These are hardy trees real survivors in difficult terrain.. Wonderful photography

Thanks Colin. I think that the many new trees planted around this steep track are all birch. That will be something in years to come! Good that you enjoyed it.

Amazing picture, Herb !

A great set of images Herb I like the winter version best

wonderful find, composition and edit

Great work of Art, Herb.

That is a lovely tree indeed. We don't see silver birches around here (obviously) so grateful to see and appreciate them virtually.
Thanks also for the link -- didn't know about this contest. Those trees are amazing.

great sky behind
