(1) COMPOSITION (CONTENT) The composition of the photograph is one of the best things about it. The heavy tree on the right balances the many trees on the left. The branches of the big tree seem to just flow and reach through the misty atmosphere giving this photo a surreal quality.
Time of day made a big difference here and you choose wisely.
(2) BACKGROUND The background makes the photograph very special. I read some of the other comments you received and I have to agree with most of them, the background give this a Tolkein-like feel. The sky is a little bright, but works well here with the misty ground. Very nice, as it gives a brooding sort of hauntedness to the entire scene.
(3) CAMERA WORK ,TECHNICAL Exposure is very well done. The tree on the right is a little dark, but that contrasts well with the lighter sky and ground. I am wondering if seeing just a tiny little more detail in the tree trunk might have added one more level of interest to an already wonderful photograph. A little bit of fill flash might have opened the scene up a bit.
There are so many facinating details that one really must look this photograph for a long time... the texture of the grass in the foreground, the sunlit wall, the fence in the foggy background just to name a few
(4) DIGITAL PROCESSING ,TECHNICAL You accomplished something very interesting with the away you cropped this photograph. The first thing the viewers eye lands on is the heavy tree trunk, but then is pulled to the left along the sunlit wall top. This is emphasised with the long narrow crop, which works magnificently here.
(5)MEETING THE CHALLENGE This photo does a very good job of meeting the challenge. I love the way that you have taken a fairly normal scene and transformed it into a fairyland.
(6) MY OPINION ON THE PHOTO The subject here is wonderful. The way you executed it is wonderful. I think perhaps this is a photo that you might try to reshoot in many different lights and times of day. This is a great location to get some really neat shots. Well done! |

| Amazing tree, I think this photo would have been sliglty better if you were at a higher angle, and looking down on the tree.. probably impossible which is a shame :) I give you an 8! -Annida |

| Cool tree shot, a little to tight in the cropping. Focus and or resolution a little too soft. |

| What a freaky tree that is! Looks like it's reaching out to the left. |

| It is very difficult, I know, to shoot into the sun with the mist. Good job, despite. |
