what makes it so special?
If it wasn't historically significant, it's likely few people would give it a second glance, in spite of it being well-composed.
Ballinderry-Michael, thanks for that.
Maybe if it were a nice tree like a Jacaranda, poinciana or eucalyptus.
I have read this same sort of comment from people who viewed images by Eugene Atget. Look harder.
Read harder. I didn't say anything about what I thought. The fact is, currently, there would currently be practically no appreciation of such an image. Take a similar one and post it in the gallery to test. And that would be here, where people actually care a bit about photos.
In most peoples' eyes, that photo is not special at all.
What are you talking about, people love that stuff, one of most favoured pictures on Flickr is a boring tree. It has over 500 likes and normal im lucky to get 10. Admittedly mine is a little more attractive, but to be fair England doesn't have many nice trees.

That is a good looking tree!! Very nice print.
Regarding good looking trees in UK, wasn’t there one like 5,000 years old, chopped down by a kid recently?

I think this is the key concept that is mostly overlooked or unexpressed in discussions about art. I love FT's portrait of a tree because it expresses a profound aesthetic "sensibility." Same with Atget. It is both an "idea" and a "feeling". When they come together you have an artwork.It would appear "most" people have absolutely no sensibilities, just look at the way they present themselves in pub
