    Re: Cold Front Moving In

    I love it. Nice composition. Only problrm I have is the top of the tree gets a little lost in the dark clouds.
    You could lighten up the clouds a bit and the tree would pop more. I'd only lighten up the top section of clouds though.

    Hi Scott,
    I see you're still enjoying the new camera! I like the shot. The tree off center was a good ideal. Keep em coming.

    Re: Cold Front Moving In

    Everything with this picture is way awsome, the only thing that concerns me is the fact that i cant see the ground, it gives me a floaty feeling but it looks cool

    I think you need to adjust the gama on your monitor.

    Scott,

    I like the feeling of power the clouds and sunlight convey against the tree and that the tree is off centre. However it would be nice to see the base of the tree in the shot.

    Re: Cold Front Moving In

    I think there are interesting elements here and the image has mood. I would only agree with what others have said about not seeing the base of the tree or enough ground. It does feel to be floating.Good subject.

    Re: Cold Front Moving In

    Thanks to everyone for the input. As for the reason on not getting the base of the tree.........It was really grown up with underbrush and vines that was growing on a fence row.

    Thanks,

    Scott
