nice shot right into the sun. Really emphasizes the protective quality of this amazing tree. Well done!

I feel this would have worked better in color - some of the depth seems missing in the b+w

Comment by macrothing:
8 - This is very nice. Criticism; Whilst I like the light shining through it is either too bright and thus detracting from the main subject, in my opinion, or else a different crop, cropping out half of the 'sunlight', may have made this a better shot. Like the toning, but the capture of the branches and the angle is what I like the best about this shot. 'Feels' like you are under an old and stately tree.

So often I see a photo where people have wildly tilted the camera just for the sake of trying to be artsy, or something. In this case, it looks like this angle was well thought out and works well to present the image. It is composed nicely and has good leading lines.

This is the best shot I have seen of actual tree branches. I love that there is enough contrast to make the branches stand out. My only subtraction is for the area of white--it is distracting to me.
