Description

This is one of my favorite pictures.

This picture holds some special meaning to me.
*take a seat, here comes the story*
When I started photography, about 6 years ago, I took a picture of this tree. I have come back multiple times to take improved pictures as I learned more. Getting to this tree wasn't so easy because I was studying in The Netherlands at the time. So only when I came home to the caribbean was I able to give it another shot.
This shot was the last one I ever got. I was satified (finally) but the slide film was scratched bcs of a problem with the camera bady.
I was shocked to see that the tree was completely gone last year (2006).
Since that time, this image always reminds me of the transient nature of everything in the world.

Surprisingly when showing a colleague at work some of my prints, she instantly recognized this tree. She had actually not seen it dead, she remembered sleeping under it when it was still alive.

Life may be short, but it's good... (You can quote me on that ;) )

EOS 300, 28-200mm Sigma, 100 ISO Fuji Sensia Slide film.

I like this one the most of your gallery. I'd like to see a bigger version.

Perhaps you could change the contrast a bit, because I think the see looks a bit too dark.
