Another walk to Buslingthorpe today, although it’s still very cold, the days couldn’t be more different - blue sky & sunshine! I have taken this tree a few times before for my project. I actually shot into the sun for this one too, something you are usually told not to do.
I don't go by the rules and this one shot I really like. You have captured all the details of this magnificent tree which you wouldn't have if you had taken the shot from any other angle. Well done.
This is a beautiful tree so well photographed and deserves to be in your project in all kinds of light. I wonder if next time you might take one more step back to get the top of the tree in, and use a smaller aperture to play with the sunlight coming into the scene?
I too have shot sometimes into the sun, you do get magical results
Rules are there to be broken
