Broken Tree
by davidstorm
OK, so I would like some advice on this one as I cannot get my head around the composition. I like the colours and the general scene but it's not right. Any offers?
Shot as evening drew near - I was waiting for sunset colours, but it clouded over and started to snow a bit.
Pentax-M 28mm F3.5, K-x

I think the tree might be the problem David as it cuts across instead of acting as a lead in, also the branches draw the eye into the bottom right.

What would you do with it Jim? I think the original composition was not right so I'll have to go back to the location and re-shoot it.

That's really good David,
I agree with Jim about the tree though it does draw the eye away to the bottom right.
Aside from that I think this is one of my favourite shots of yours. You're improving all the time.

Thanks Charlotte, it's great to get feedback from everyone on the Gallery - I think it really helps us all to improve!

I cropped it to a semi pano with equal parts water and sky which works pretty well to my untrained eye

Thanks Jim, this is also what I thought but I don't think panos work too well on the PU Gallery.
All the best, David

I think it's a stunning shot which would stand on its own without the tree if you crop the water at the bottom ........ as Jim suggests

I agree with the others. This is a great shot with beautiful colours and lights. Your main subject is the hill side and the composition doesn't need the tree in the forground IMHO. A crop could help it.

amazing picture with such good usage of light and colors (and as others already sad - I also think that cropping the tree would make it even better)

Giulio, I think you have excelled with your peotry this time! I can picture in my head someone resting their arms on the tree and gazing at the view beyond. You have transported my picture to a fantasy land! Thank you, please keep the poetry coming.
