This photograph is spectacular. I love the explicit detailing, the framing, and the beautiful, vivid colors. This is truly a majestic image. Great Work.

Great shot, Low! I love the way the branches are separated from the deep sky. All the bare branches make it look like a fuzzy tree! lol, cool image!

Comment from Hollie


Your right about character , this is a cool photo , The thing I like most about this is the way you captured the color in the sky, so blue , and it slowly fades into the trees , Wonderful job

Hey, great shot! Crop a little off the bottom and you have a winner. You can digitally restore the color on the trees that you remember seeing by making a copy on photoshop, pumping up the red or yellow or orange (whatever you like), and then combining the two pictures by putting this original on top and making anything blue transparent. Play around with it, it should probably be pretty easy to create some type of mask too.

Comment from Orion008


This is the nice dark deep blue that is seldom lost in thesoft blue skies! Love the contrast of the harsh looking branches reaching out to the above. Great look and feel here, orion008.

Comment from Msteely


The blue of the sky is magnificent. The starkness of the tree is a very good contrast. Winter is a barren time, but, it can give us a beauty all of its own. You have captured that here.

Comment from zippityjacks


Initial impact: What a beautiful day. Creativity: Creative use of frame. I like that it is not just one full tree but many parts with such detail in the prickly branches. Color: is absolutely brilliant. The color stands out and calls for you to look at it. Lighting: I like the contrasting colors where the sun has hit some branches and the shadows have darkened others. I like that it is well focused down to the tip of the tiniest branch And I especially like the angle for which you have provided the view. Great job.

Comment from alexisart


The deep blue sky sets off the browns in the tree really well. All the tiny little branches form a great pattern and you've captured it at a perfect angle for a fine composition.
