 Taken at a lake not too far from my house in the Texas Hill Country. The day was drizzly and gray, so I doubted if I could get anything even half-way suitable. I know there are better "Ansel Adams Style" shots in this area, but not over the past week with the weather we've had: constantly rainy and misty. This was the best I could come up with.

There's too much of uninteresting foreground in this image. When I hold my hand over most of the grass at the bottom this image becomes outstanding and like that I would have put it straight to my favourites. Try to crop away about 70-80% of the grass and see if you agree with me with the improving part... Maybe it would also be better to add some contrast in the grass (that will be left), maybe burn it a little or try to draw some detail out of it but still make it look normal. Adding a little vignette in the end could also make it stronger.

ofcourse I like it as it is too but it can be improved. You don't have to agree, this is just my opinion :-)

terrific gray-scale- fantastic tone of image and detail. I like trees, and this is no exception.

I think that if the sky were to be a little darker around the edges, that it would frame this rather well.

Nice subject and composition. Editing a bit crude with some prominent haloing round tree. AA factor not particularly strong.

This is one of those pictures that causes you to study it just a little more. Nice capture with the framing of the tree, and with the sun bringing out the details of the branches. Good Job!

I like it. The light spot at the top of the tree is interesting.
