Excellent shot! I believe this is supposed to be the world's most photographed tree. I think you've done one of the best jobs of capturing it!

Beautiful and powerful... it's interesting how someone's been looking out for that lonely tree and built a wall around it...

Lovely. I would have taken this photo from a different spot...more to the left.
Posted 45 months ago. ( permalink )

Interesting to have a tree up there all on it's own. And what's with the little wall around it?
The blue seems a little strong, esp. in the mountains in the background...

seems more of a snapshot than anything else. not a fan of the composition, color or lighting.

obiknobi says:

Like the colors of the blue, but it's also in the back at the mountains which makes it a little but unnatural. Like the rocks on the left (contrast and color and lines). I think this picture could be improved by taking another angle. The overall scene doesn't "catch" me right away.

.marcel bianchi says:

nice composition and angle, but i think it is too bright.
i mean, it needs more contrast and saturation.
more vivid colours can make this picture looks much better.

Sergio Lubezky says:

While compostion is good, the whjole image seems to be a bit flat and unapealing. maybe a tighter crop would bring in interestingnes.. who knows!

I will give you a 8 out of 10

Final rating in the 100 Points group is 64 Points.

Well done!
