DescriptionUnstretched. Image of a scenic French countryside, with a tall Poplar tree in the left center. Emphasis is given to this large tree (left foreground) where the thick trunk and countless branches lead into short feathery leaves. The tree is not too dense, so the sloping hill and light clouds in the background can also be seen. The scene features several layers of countryside including a clearing (light green), hedge (dark green-middle right), small house and tree (distant right), and a sloping hill in the background.
