That looks like a very determined tree, Danny, and the comp makes its possibilities see wide open. The image's light and the overall graphic quality are very appealing.

The frame really works together with the simple vertical. Presentation accounts for a lot sometimes, and this is a great example. Nice creative thinking here and nice subject.

Danny,

I really like this. It's bold and I think works wonderfully. The blue sky is very natural - as if I was viewing this in real time.

The ONLY suggestion I have, or I should say wish, is for a tad more breathing room on the sides. I love the pano crop you've chosen, but the branches are oh-so close and almost merging with the frame edge. Other than that, kudos on this one.

Lon

I like tis a lot! Love the beautiful simplicity and soft colors in the sky. Kind of like a Japanese painting. Also love the vertical aspect.

Very interesting look in the overall presentation here, Danny. Good to see some variety in the perspective and final layout.

Simple, elegant and suprisingly different. Very nicely done, Danny. :toast:

I like your creative use of crop and framing. Simple and elegant.

Danny. It works well!

My only suggestion is to allow more breathing room around the tree for more of a peaceful feel. The tightness causes tension. If you want tension that is fine of course, but IMO it should be deliberate (maybe it was).
