The lone tree, the hostile environment that appears to be getting the upper hand, the brooding sky, and the wide tonal range all seem to be very Adams-like to me. One of my top 10.

Great setting and good job using the light you had.

The clouds are a double edged sword in this. On one had, they add interest to the sky. On the other hand they prevent any shadow that could be cast by the tree, which would be cool.

Don't recall seeing this - it's fantastic! Didn't ribbon because: positive image in a negative challenge = DNMC. ;-)

Good detail throughout. I like the slight sepia tone. Good job on the sky with interesting clouds.
The structure of the clouds could have been bumped a bit. Overall, the image is a bit flat (due to the overcast sky, I'm sure). This image would have benefitted from a wider tonal range which would have been represented by highlight and shadow interplay.

Greetings from the Critique Club!

Love this image, with such a vibrant and dynamic image, it looks like it should be a poster. So glad to see someone making good use of a remote release, tripod and long exposure. Great use of colours and above all the KISS principle, makes this more than deserving of its top 10 finish. Frankly, I think this should have finished a lot higher if not in the ribbons.

And as an aside, very glad you didn't go hog-wild in the pp department. Especially in a challenge like this, with an image like this, just a tad too much post work could have easily killed this shot.

Overall lovely work, please keep up the good work!

Feel free to PM me
