.......tree.......

Love it, seems very Windows Desktop .. but better..

Love it! Although I keep looking for the symmetry on the left hand side of the tree, and I think the fact that it is missing makes it so much better for me!

Colours are vibrant, composition great, I'd be tempted to clone out the low lying cloud if I were being picky, but it doesn't detract at all!

Great work!

Love it, the starkness and colours are great

Perfect!!!

Nice shot. I like it quite a bit.

But, like Brett I keep looking for something on the left to balance it.
I might have framed the shot like this (quick hack):

<edit by Stubbsy: image removed as requested>

Still following the rule-of-thirds, but with a little bit of balance towards the centre. Now I see it, I'm not so sure. Maybe your framing is better.
Please let me know if you want me to remove my edit.

Daniel, I do not follow the rules of thirds as it is not a rule...... there are no rules to how an image is presented, but only each person's taste in what they like to see......... I tend to please myself with what I shoot, then share what I have done

It would have been nice if you had asked before changing my image..... and yes please remove your edit

i like it a lot
reminds me of the windows wallpaper bliss with but with nice colours and sharper

Well I was gonna say that I really liked the shot...but that it was just not quite right for me...

then I saw Daniels edit and went wow!...

and then I saw how unpleasant Big Pix was in response to Daniel doing what one generally does in a critique forum....correct me if I am wrong but that's generally offer a critque isn't it?... To be fair you do ask for your images not to be edited..but I am so betting that Daniel didn't see your sig line..I have missed them before myself...but sheesh...he was only trying to help...

anyways I guess what I am trying to say is that to me your image has lost its shine now...

Quote "unpleasant" unquote....... I do not think so........... and to quote Daniel "Please let me know if you want me to remove my edit"
so I would get the facts correct before you start to criticise.......

and being a very experienced professional Photographer I know how I like my images to be presented.......... critique YES...... but do not CHANGE....

Well I guess that we have different idea's as to what is and isn't good manners...mind you I really should make allowances for those that aren't capable of saying what they want to say in text without coming across as rude and stuff...so if i have misinterpreted your original post to Daniel then I apologise...

and I guess that you being a 'very experienced professional photographer' that you would maybe be a little more open to other views of your work...instead of shutting them down with a " I tend to please myself with what I shoot, then share what I have done"..

but thats just my unprofessional unexperienced opinion...so Im guessing that it don't count in your books...

as you have said .......thats just my unprofessional unexperienced opinion

you are entiled to your opion as I am mine........

so please do not quote out of contex

I love this image, whichever crop you pick...

Alex

Bernie

I like the simplicity of this image and, like Alex, both crops work for me. That said, as the photographer, you have the best idea of what works for you and I respect that.

I have also edited Daniel's original post to honour your request for his edit of your work to be removed

I'm sorry, I did not see your sig.

I have removed my copy also.

For those who were late to this thread, I moved the tree to the left third of the frame. Leaving the right branch pointing into the centre of the frame.

Daniel

thankyou Peter and Daniel........
