Dear Tomasz!
Such thick willow? Really? But I thought it was an oak. Well, it doesn't matter. The main thing is this picture's nice.
I wish you all the best!

Perhaps...
Maybe because this oak is actually a willow :-)
I hope it has not been cut yet. I shall check it during my next visit in Jabłeczna. And the tree on the right is a kind of counterbalance to the main motif of the frame.

Well, dear Tomasz!
I refer to the very first commentary of your own. Yes, you're quite right: there's central composition. But you see, this peculiarity wasn't striking at all. At all! Perhaps, thick oak on the right is the reason of it?

Dear Tomasz!
Thanks a lot for your so clear elucidation. I absolutely agree with your philosophy of the creation of this photo.
Have a good day!

Pardon: "I resort to such ticks." - it should be: "to such TRICKS". Sorry

Dear Sergei,
Instead of stylizing some of my pictures to the "retro" photography I am much more interested in telling about "timelessnes" of some motifs. This is the example of this kind of thinking. In a b-w version this picture is colder which was not my idea. While making pictures of the monks, celebrations etc. - whenever I make gum bichromate prints I always use black pigment (lamp black or grape black which gives a warmer shade of black). Making them in sepia would be a superficial stylization of the the things which don't have to be stylized to anything. They are strong enough. When I make architecture - from time to time I resort to such ticks.
best wishes tm
