[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Birch is the name of any tree of the genus Betula (Bé-tu-la), in the family Betulaceae, closely related to the beech/oak family, Fagaceae. These are generally small to medium-size trees or shrubs, mostly of northern temperate climates. The simple leaves may be toothed or lobed. The fruit is a small samara, although the wings may be obscure in some species. They differ from the alders (Alnus, the other genus in the family) in that the female catkins are not woody and disintegrate at maturity, falling apart to release the seeds, unlike the woody cone-like female alder catkins.

Nice composition and color. Good perspective. Well done

I like the simple composition of your birch image, Lenka. The diagonal of the hill is effective. I suspect that your image uploaded a bit darker than you intended. I would like to see a bit more light in the leaves. The darkness robs the image of some impact it might have had. Maybe it is just a monitor issue.
