a bench in the park - 公園のベンチ

I really like this shot - the tree is massive compared with the people under it. I love the light blossoms, the dark trunk, and the midtones of the people in the shade. Great composition too :)

A glorious set of contrasts of scale and of tone with the city just peeping in through the peaceful blossom to remind us of another world outside.

I really like this. The tree is so well framed and subsequently frames the bench well. I love the delicacy of the blossom too.

Lovely shot,usually I would think trees and other such elements of nature would look better in colour but your B&W shots of nature are just outstanding!Great shot!

ah, this is beautiful tetsu. people under a tree :)

This shot shines in b&w!! Excellent work!!

beautiful blossoms ;)

beautiful scene

Thanks Cat, AG, Mooch, Azhar, Eric, Micki, David and Gary!!
I like the contrast like this shot. :-)

I like the composition, but if it can be a color pic, it will be more powerful I guess.

Fantastic image. I like your pictures.

beautiful bw tone...great detail:-)

I know the colors here must be terrific, pink cherry blossoms I am guessing, but the B&W is both subtle and bold, beatiful pic

Thanks Alan, Paky, pxibition and Johnz!!

I just got your comment on my site so I thought I'd follow back and say hi. Did you change your site? I haven't been back in a while and the format looks different. Have you found that photography job yet or still shooting on the street, which looks quite good as always. I'm guessing you found my new blog either by accident or followed it back from the old one at vistaphoto.blogspot.com. Talk to you agin.

I like the title: bench in the park. Yes, there is a bench there somewhere... But the tree is really present. Nice shot, it makes you feel small, as a person.

Beautifull picture. The ambiance is romantic and mysterious. The composition gives an importance to the peoples : we want to know them !

Cool BW Spring! Great capture of an abundance of flowers! Mary :-) IMAGIK

Thanks Jeff!!
I foud your website on PHOTO FRIDAY. Umm. I do not change the style of my webiste long time. You may mistake for someone. :-) Anyway, welcome back!

Thanks Jacco, Pierre and Mary!!
Yes.Yes. As Jacco said, there are benches in the park, city, school. And maybe they have their own stories...

That tree is huge.

Thanks Alicia!!
