Took this one out at Arches National Park. Was out winter camping for New Years. I liked it, so I thought I'd enter it. Shot on the last day of the year.

nice idea, b&w need help, not enough tonal value, nice texture, light could be better in bg, sky too blown, nice sillouette, nice dof, overall good effort
I was going to say that it's a little too dark in the foreground, but maybe that works.. It's kind of confusing though. Like, does this photo want to be a silhouette, or do we want detail in the landscpe, or is it trying to be both? I don't know! :)
Nice capture, good focus, interesting subject. I think I would have preferred a tighter crop at the top as the light sky detracts from the darkness at ground level, but that is only my opinion. Overall well done
I like this but I'm wondering if kneeling down to get more of the tree in silhouette and have it more separated from the rocks? The rocks on both sides to a nice job to frame things though. 6
