    Nice color and detail. Looks like it could be a book cover for one of my wifes many spirituality books, or a greeting card for the same.

    Not sure if the portion of the tree is the very top of a really tall tree or 3/4 of it, but it does establish ( for me) the position I am at while looking up into the sky.

    The sky is wonderfully exposed.

    I think I want more of the tree. I don't like it just being sliced off that abruptly.

    The color is awesome. But I feel like the tree is an accident in the shot. If it was the whole tree, or most of it or something I might understand more why it was there, but right now, its kind of just the top of a tree in my way of seeing the sky.

    Thanks all. I wish I could find the original but I think it was much like this one. At the bottom of the tree was a busy boat dock/swimming/fishing/dog playground I shy'd away from

    The sky is great but the tree is quite pedestrian. I agree with amorton that is appears almost accidental. Incredible blue up there though.

    Yep, great great sky shot, but the tree the way it is makes it look like a snapshot. Need more of the tree.
