The Tree That Reached the Sky

Well done at a slight angle to show the important elements of the tree. It makes it interesting. The use of B&W also helps to express your intentions.

I would have loved to photograph this scene. There is so much to see and many potential viewpoints. I get the opportunity to go out and shoot with my son on occasion. We often times will be taking a picture of the same scene but he sees it differently than I do. I love to see his interpretation. I like the way you have used your title to explain your purpose.

I really like the scene as you have composed it as a panorama. The tree is amazing and I like the idea you have presented. I can’t help but think this was taken with a cellphone as it is slightly out of focus and maybe a little too strong on the saturation. Should do well though on the overall.

Sadly not Wanaka

That sky is amazing. I had taken a similar idea but chose otherwise because I knew the voters would feel it was a picture of multiple trees. I have voted your entry on the quality, idea, and composition and not the specific interpretation of the challenge. It’s a very good entry! I like your title:)

I have photographed this tree myself! Brings back great memories of a trip with my son. Great sky and of course the Grand Canyon in the background.

Singled out

A very creative idea in isolating a single tree for this challenge. Your composition and the tree really sticks out!
