A beautiful tree at the Kabota Japenese Gardens in Renton. A favorite location of mine to photograph. I timed my photo shoot for when the sun was setting low so that it produced the best looking light. I also took care to use a tripod to help produce the sharpest image possible with maximum depth of field and used the camera timer to minimize any camera shake.

You've created a very magical image that has a lot of impact. The dark shape of the tree limbs at the top are especially nice against the yellow leaves. The only negative comment - true or not - is that it looks a bit "unreal" due to post processing. (If that's not so - sorry for the comment. But no points deducted for that anyway.) You should finish way up there.

Nice catch, the sunlight filtered through the trees adds a luminescent quality.

Excellent subject for the free study but I think it's overexposed and/or oversharpened.

I think I would crop all the foreground. tyr it? the striking shapes of the tree branches and the light through the leaves is completely surreal and painterly. The ground is too realistic and detracts. Without the foreground you have some terrific patterns going: Tree tunk is one, curly silouette branches is another. straight hanging doen brances frame the bottom and the sideways stanted leaves in the top right corner is the last. All play nicely torgether in an abstrqct texture.

WOW!!!!! That's an amazing image. Perhaps you could try cropping a wee bit from the bottom?

It is so hard to get a backlit tree to look luminescent like this. You've done a great job here. I especially like the dark curving branches against the bright leaves.
