The power of the strategic crop... I had been afraid that cropping would lose some of the essence of the tree, but in the end, I think it has worked out ok :)
As always, thank you so much for your lovely comments on my recent photos... Once again, I fear I am horribly behind... please bear with me while I catch up looking and commenting on all your recent uploads!
The bark looks good but shooting into the sun so boldly doesn't work for me - the burnt out highlights pull my eyes too strongly and there is nothing there to see
Is there a shot of the splotchy tree for comparison? I do like this... I'm not one to look at a shot and think crop lol. I take shots to use as they are. Although I can look at another shot and see a crop might help.... how strange.
