Oops, forgot to say:
Indeed, the geometric abstraction of this can be summarized into two groups of parallel lines. Tree and woods (vertical), and earth and shadow ("skew"). A situation that appears very often on mountains. Geometry is everywhere - or perhaps nowhere else than in the minds of those who want to see it everywhere! ;-)
Cheers!

Thanks a lot for the great, detaield, in depth going comment, Visar!!!
Exactly that low contrast of the branches of the front tree against the background woods is what I find not satisfactory here. But as you say the strong shadow absorbes attention on different parts.
The word that you looked for... I think it is "imaginary" as opposed to real. Or perhaps I favorite this word because of real and imaginary parts of complex numbers! ;-)
So, by keeping all the rest as it is now, and at the same time wanting to raise cthe already mentioned low contrast.. what to do? This is a hard case since the hues of the front and the nackground are very similar. I think that the only way to go here, would be to use a shallower DoF, and try to separate the tree from the background by a more selective focus. But at the same time not letting the background to dissolve completely into some fuzzy canvas.
Thanks a lot once again!
Nick

Thank you very much again, Dave!
Only the contrast of the front tree's branches against the woods in the background puzzles me quite.
Cheers!

Thank you very much for the nice and detailed comment, Gustavo! Interesting thing to read about "order-chaos", which makes me think a bit more about it.
But still the "order" has a not as high contrast to the "chaos" of the background, doesn't it?
Cheers!
Nick

wow, what a shizzy tree ;), it captures the scenery mercilessly putting all the area under its shade!
you have posed a very interesting question here Nick. my answer is no, and yes.
It is no, because i cannot really distinguish the tones of the front tree with the ones in the background, or maybe a slight difference!
seperate the ground where this tree grows, and just look on the upper part and you'll find a dull and unattractive shot.
But here comes the magic part; the foreground where the shadow of this tree streches in a very good contrast with the ground and everything else, beautifully, inviting the focus of the viewer on it and thus dissolving the background trees.
as far as the composition is concerned, i think it is grand.
Apart for the tree that falls right on its most appropriate spot, and its shadow that lingers on the left to balance it, again on the third; the fence that devides the tree and the shadow right on the root where they do connect is like a border of the real and the imaginary ('imaginary' is not the word; as we do see the shadow, but i lack the right word for it-- and i think i do not even know it in Albanian either).
supplement: geometrically speaking, the shadow of the front tree and the line of the tops of the background trees creates a parallel structure which i find a great investment on this photo composition. after all, isn't it all about the shapes?! ;)
cheers Nick,
v.

A good perspective, and I like the shadow in this one, Nick!

Un día de sol!, ja...ja... bravo, muy interesante las sombras y los contrastes entre el los troncos verticales y ordenados del fondo y el desorden de las ramas del árbol en el primer planos. Excelente como siempre la composición.
Un abrazo!
