Lovely image. I'd try and clone out the lines just below the tree though.
Excellent stuff. K.

Really nice. I tried something similar back in December but yours is far, far better.

quite nice ....but ...
tree to close to edge of frame for my tstes ... and maybe crop in a little - there's a whole lot of nothing in the shot.
very nice shot all the same as is

I really like the simplicity of this shot and it would certainly be one I would consider framing.
I actually like the tree being close to the edge but do tend to agree with Mike about cropping. The only slight issue I have is balance - I like the 'nothing' that's what makes the shot to me. For my taste I think I would shave a couple of inches off the top - nothing more but this is just being picky - it's a great shot.

No matter how many lenses I have owned - I have always needed just one more

The fact that it is a "whole lot of nothing" is what makes this image IMHO. Cheers, Kris.

It is beautiful, and well worth the effort you made to get there to take it.

a fine example of "negative space" where the space is as important as the subject for the whole thing to be complete, also tried something similar but not in this league.

It's a lovely image. I don't think it needs the unusual tall, thin aspect. I think it would look best with a conventional 4 by 6. I agree about the tree being a little close to the edge. A bit more space and this would have been a great image imo.

I made this shot in February 2013, the day after a great snow storm in Monte Livata a mountain not so far from Rome (60km)
It was very hard to walk 'cause there were more than 40cm of snow there.
Shot with K30 + 18-55 + Hoya ND400
