Trees Awaiting A Storm

im sorry to say but pictures like this never seem to work out. theres not enough of any subject or idea that presents itself to the audience to convey anything. its a small part of the clouds, and a small part of a tree... that first one may have some potential with some serious reframing, if you could go back and take the shot again with a bit more of an expressive composition then it COULD work out. but then, i dont know anything about the area that you shot in except that tiny little part.

I like the first one. The light and color against the sky is awesome.

I've come back to this a couple times now, and I think the first one would work well if it were cropped differently. The way it is now, various branches are cut off strangely. I do like the light against the dark sky though, and I also like that it's a branch with buds of flowers rather than the stronger trees of the second two shots.

They make me feel like I'm there. The first and third ones are my favoriate. The bottom one is very moody. I agree with the other posters that they don't provide enough information to make them prize winners, but they do serve their purpose of showing the storm.

The top one has been digitally modified and/or over-sharpened. It just doesn't seem natural or right, technically wise. But I do like the subject.
