Hello Renee
Welcome to TE
you ahve capture Mangrove Tree very nicely..
placed at a right place..

Hi Renee,
Such a graphic capture, the one tree in all of that sand, what a tenacious root system it must have. I'll bet there are a few mud crabs sheltering in those roots.
Good POV and nicely composed. That sky looks endless.
Very well spotted and captured.
Regards
Peter

Hi Renee,
I really like the simplicity of this photo...it's almost dream-like. Normally one would position the horizon off-centre, but your perfectly central split between beach and sky has worked extremely well. The position of the tree is the trick here....you've used the rule-of-thirds which has created a good "balance" in the image. Very tranquil and quiet mood to the shot....very nice. Well done.
Cheers Grant

Hi Renee, very beautiful view and composition, I like it, although the sky was a little over exposed. And I think it would also be beautiful in black and white. It's a pity that could not post it to workshop.

Hola Renee
La amplitud de la foto es fantástica, me transporta a una sensación de libertad tremenda. La luz me encanta, es un cielo nublado que le da un aspecto luminoso casi extra-terrenal, desde la arena emana una luz difusa muy fuerte.

El árbol es el protagonista solitario, casi en lucha perpetua con el contexto. La marea baja es lo mejor de la naturaleza, algo increíble. Pero, ¿cómo puede crecer el árbol bajo agua salada? Porque en altamar, el árbol queda inundado en agua de mar.

Gracias, una foto muy especial y brutal en espacio y perspectiva.

Saludos
Álvaro
