I would like to have seen the extra bush on the left either cloned out in post processing, or excluded by changing the shooting angle. I also would have like to seen you post-process to get more separation between the tree and the sky.

Hi,
interesting. My first thought was if this had bee taken during winter Looked as the tree had some ice on it.

I'm also wandering if the picture wouldn't have looked nicer in color? Blue sky, perhaps brown stones, don't know....

Maybe a little bit "too much" of the tree. Takes too much of the frame to me.

Nice shot. That's an interesting tree, but I think there is not enough contrast between the tree and the rest of the image, so the tree loses some impact because it does not stand out enough. Especially against the sky. Like bice, I would like to see the color version.

I have a trip to Zion, Bryce & Arches planned in August. Can't wait!
