Default Lean on Tree

Darwell Reservoir Trees  b&w  27-1-08


Hi

I was trying to take this shot in local woods near me

I was off the main footpath when these trees all seemed to lean into the middle as if talking to each other

I realise there’s not a foreground focal point as there was not really one to take, however liked the way the trees converged with each other.

Any advice on how I could improve this shot to make them stand out more please?

Many thanks


Camera: Canon EOS 400D Digital

What I would do is play around with some selective lens blur to give the image a bit more dimension.

Somehow this image seems slightly off-balance to me and it is a little distracting. I'd try cropping some of the right side of the image off to more center the "path". Just my personal opinion.
