Beautiful. I would have cropped out a little more of the dark on bottom and added that space in the beautiful sky, but that's just me. I love the composition and arrangement of it. Great job. 7

Excellent composition. It looks good in b/w but I think I like it better with the colors. Great job. One of my highest rated this week.

I can't believe how amazing the trees are in all these photographs, and this is one of them. A gem of nature! My only gripe with this photograph is that if you had walked about hmm... 30 more paces to the right, and had taken the photo, you would have been able to get the picture with the tree silhouetted in the sky, and the peak of the mountain showing in its own glory :) I give you an 8! lovely work! -Annida

Like the tree there, adds interest. Would like to have seen a little more detail in the ground and background however. Still a 9 in my book though.

Nice composition. The shadow (front of picture) takes away from the colours. Maybe better during another time of day. Lovely sky colour. Like the contrast between mountains and fields. Jacko.

I'm not too keen on that shadow across the bottom of the picture. This might have worked better at a different time of day. Even cropping half way between the bottom of the tree and the photo base works better for me.

Very nice...well balanced. A polarizing filter would have really popped the colour in the sky and provided a bit more contrast...I'm also not convinced that it's the best place for the tree...covering the peak with the branches throws me off. I'd prefer to have the tree intersect a lower part of the horizon, such as off to the right. Still, very good.
