Default dead tree
This is my first post on the critique board so tell me if i am doing anything wrong.
I took this shot at Bryce canyon national park. What I want help on is composition. Specifically, should i have moved the tree over to follow the rule of thirds. Also, is the sun flare cool and interesting or distracting. Could I have exposed the sky better.
Any comments are appreciated.
