Hidden In Shame

This is one of those images that just happen to fall in your field of view out of the blue.

I was wondering around an abandoned village, almost disappointed  because I just could not find anything interesting to capture at the moment ( wait… abandoned village and nothing interesting to shoot;  You must have the  “Give me a break” face right now!   ),  and then suddenly as I looked to my far right I saw this naked tree aligned with a huge sand dune.

I took the picture and then started to notice as I zoomed in that most of the trees at the background had still their leaves, in contrast with the tree in the foreground, which created a strong emotional contrast.

I choose to remove all color in order to magnify this feeling of shame and loneliness, but left everything else untouched.

Also note that his was taken with my ( rest in peace ) dear 18-135 lens at 135mm, which added compression making the image even more dramatic.
