It's a wonderful old tree. The lighting seems a bit harsh, mid-day? Late afternoon would be an ideal time to shoot this subject.

Soaring in Still Life

Comment by BeeCee:
A still life generally brings together a number of elements arranged by the artist into an eyecatching grouping. Ignoring that and considering the photo, it's an interesting subject but could be made more striking by increasing contrast. I'd suggest cropping tighter left, both to remove the extraneous bush and to bring the subject out of center, giving more illusion of flight toward the edge of the frame. Maybe check out info on the rule of thirds. Hope this helps :)

Without a doubt they make engines with the thought creating of something attractive to the eye. The flow of the parts, the complexity, and color. Makes for an interesting shot. Possibly the Mechanics POV?

i like. nice lighting, it looks like you used a flash, but there's something else going on, that gives those golden highlights. those are particularly nice. i wonder what it might've looked like without a flash, with a long exposure maybe. some of my favorite long exposure shots are medium-lit contours and shapes.

You'll probably lose points from some people for not having a title. It a shame because this is a nice shot.

I like the gold highlights. Hard to appreciate POV on something so foreign to me though.

Wow, Im not the only one that looked at machines! I really like the way light works on this. It bounces around just right.
