The "idea" is sound but the "execution" needs work.

I would try experimenting with different scales of tree size and proportions ... starting with a horizontal frame maybe and a "hint" of lake....

Like I often say, we are drawn to a place or something, but sometimes it will not "reveal" itself until we have worked on it for awhile, then we "discover" just what that was, so photography then becomes a tool of sounding the depths of the subconscious, the image doesn't exist 'out there", but some instinctual apprehension that eludes our Mr Magoo Ego.

 

Thanks for sharing

Al,

 

A nice shot with the near-far concept and colors.

Albert,

 

Thanks for sharing this picture because it leads us to fundamental discussion which is so nicely shown by John's discourse.

May I suggest to crop a bit the left dark side of the bark and then try to work on the texture probably to tone it down a bit and increase contrast to show the texture of the bright bark in order to balance it out with the blue background.

The curly piece of bark should e more emphasized. Of course we can only look at it in this scaled down version here in the forum....

 

Thanks for sharing. That is what we all are working on...
