'Tree House'

A tree house built on an old oak tree appeared in front of me in the middle of the upper town. Its sudden appearance caught my attention and immediately started some old forgotten feeling of wonder, that I remember having as a boy. Do you know a child that doesn't want one? A tree house is almost a symbol of every child's independence and sense of adventure. We learn to appreciate these moments already when very young, don't we?

It can be challenging to make black and white photography. Especially in the old days when Photoshop was a far away future. The contrast, together with the tonal reflections of objects, is the most difficult part to master and it is the core of b&w photography. I kept the image in mid-level tonality because I find it to be the most beneficial for black and white stylization if an idea doesn't need special treatment. It might be the way to go in all cases that don't deserve strong contrast, out of key balance or greyed out look achieved by the use of low con filters... etc.

I added two greyed out areas to get the old look-and-feel vibe of a partially misdeveloped photo. This effort removes the perfection and adds to the overall feeling and the atmosphere of the photograph. But, you already know how I feel about technical perfection, right? :D

Enjoy! :)

Awesome photography. This reminds me of a book i used to read back then called Treehouses & Playhouses You Can Build.
I remember this book till now because i saved my money to buy that book, my parents could buy it then, but i was told that what you buy with your money, you would value. So that was how i started buying books myself.
I must say that i like your use of toning.
Are those things hanging from the roof Xmas lights? at first i thought they were plants growing around the building but then, it was not scattered around. (my thoughts) :)
I think that the toning was good because if it was not toned, it would make it seem like a horror house or haunted location :) The whole black and white idea is just perfect.
Thank you for sharing @velimir.

Everyone can interpret this photo in its own way. At first glance, I would say that this house on the tree is a monument of the childhood of the last generation. Why is that? Because the current generation of children is not interested in the real world and real sensations. According to my personal observations (if I'm not right, tell me), the current generation of children is more keen on the viral world and its gadgets.
Children do not know the joy that their parents experienced before. There were no mobile phones and the meeting place was stipulated in advance, there was an intrigue. Played on the street to the cognition, looking for adventure - it was interesting and impressive. That's why every child before the 2000s has bright memories from childhood :) Everyone has something to tell ...
Something I plunged into thinking :)
Photography really has an atmosphere, but not terrible, but on the contrary the atmosphere of something forgotten. The gray blurred areas of the tree (the tree in this photo is a symbol of support) tell me that the values of the last generation no longer have support. The values of the last generation will remain in the memory of the last generation.
Good photo
Goodnight:)
