This is a wonderful piece. A simple and effective composition. Great dark tones. I particularly like the highlights outlining the girl's silhouette. Nicely captured indeed.

I see by your portfolio that you don't do things by halves. All your images reflect solid forethought. They've been an absolute pleasure to browse.

Cheers
Rina.

One Tree hill!

I'm not sure the zoom effect has worked for you here, I felt the composition alone was strong enough to have carried this.

What a magnificent tree. Almost Dr Zeuss-like in its shape and bend. Great composition, but I think it needed a touch more foreground. As is, I feel the tree and baby are too close to the bottom edge of the frame. The colours in the sky all look wonderfully natural though, which is a huge plus I think :) Well done.

I love compositions like these and I typically like them to be a little on the dark side, but the vignette here is too overpowering even for me.

Post work feels too CGI animated. I do love the composition though. Stunning find.

Hmmm... I think I would have panned a bit more to the left for this. The rocks being directly behind the tree, seem to distract. I do like the layering in the bg mountains though. Nice work.

Why is the sky lighter around the tree? Still, I like the simplicity of this composition, bump.
