Photographer’s Note

Tree
-How to determine the world's largest tree...
Determining the world's largest tree is not as straightforward as you might think. It is a combination of three measurements. One is height, another width of the crown of its branches and the last is the circumference of the trunk of the tree. A number is calculated from these three measurements to determine the largest. The tallest tree does not automatically claim the title. However, local communities can and often do erroneously claim the status of 'largest' on any one of these three measurements so you often get conflicting claims.

Hi,
Maybe the noise is due to the ISO setting of 1600, it compliments with your subject. Good POV as well as framing.

Regards

Hi Mohammad
I like your composition, minimal, simple and well contrasted. I like the square frame but I think there's too much noise. So, as I have run out of WS for today you could try yourselve. Just a bit denoising and a bit sharpening. Thanks for your comments on my WS's
Have a nice day and TFS

Hello mohammad,
I like the way you saw this tree in the misty surroundings. It looks like a strange creature. This tree has its own life, thoughts and hopes. It grows freely and stretched its arms-branches widely. Interesting picture! My only wish is about the composition. perhaps I would not place the tree in the very centre... I might crop the left part of the photo a little (just about 2-3 cm).
There is some noise in the photo but the ISO is too high! so it's inevitable... especially in such weather.
I like the mood of the photo.
best regards,
Elena

Ali,
This is a very moody shot, I like it, quality again can be better with a better camera, but the composition and POV is really nice. Keep up the good work. Thanks
