This gives the feeling of a creature rising up. A great composition, dear Joggie!:)

Thanks for the comment Hugo - you are perfectly right, no nitpicking, I am very aware of it. I always try to crop the image on camera. In this case I was trying to show as much of the texture of the tree base, moving in closer. Only on the computer I realised it was a bit close. The light and detail on the subject was strong enough though (I thought) to carry the picture and I decided to upload. All the best and thanks again for the interest! Joggie

Hi Joggie,
Fascinating scene; the barren landscape with the almost playful textures in the dead tree - simply superb, as usual. The light and shadows on the remainders of the tree add to the dimension of the structure, which adds the finishing touch to me.
I'm curious why you composed the primary subject so closely to the edges - it creates a noticeable negative space in the top left quadrant, whereas I think observing a bit more space - especially in the foreground, and probably on top would've created a stronger feel of the desolated element of the place. Hope you see what I mean.... It's nitpicking - as usual - but it drew attention to it....
Nevertheless a very fine shot. I like these off centered build-ups of images - it allows the background to become a part of the photo too, which is very functional here.
Cheers,
Hugo

Una composizione che esalta le interessanti forme del soggetto, la corretta esposizione la rende ben leggibile anche con i forti contrasti dati dalla luce, davvero gradevoli le cromie. Dino
