Great photo. I love the silhouette of the tree. The other tree on the right back adds some DOP to this photo.

Hi Philip,
Welcome to TE. That is an impressive silhouette capture for a start.
I like that cloudy scenery, but isn't there a bit too much of magenta in the upper left corner??
Kind regards,
Michal

Hey Philip,

Nice composition with that heavy sky and scraggly tree. The sky is very well defined and saturated, especially in the distance. well done

Hello Philip

Welcome to TE, and what an intro! I really like the silhouette, and the clarity of the tree. A great moody sky too. There does though seem to be an inbalance in the colour of the sky, was this a filter or PP? Great shot though.

Impressive photo Philip.

Fascinating tree, Good composition, great sky and light, very sharp and a surrealistic atmosphere.
My only small regret is the colour assessment in the upper left corner, but Gierlinski wrote that already.
I really think you entered TE (welcome) with a masterpiece. Looking forward to your next contributions.

Regards Ingrid

Welcome to TE Philip.
A good shot for your debut.
The composition with the tree off centre and silhouetted against that interesting sky is very good.
TFS, regards Jean.
