 Shot of a tree here at Singapore which got struck by lightning and lost all it's leaves. That was a couple of months ago. It's gotten back some leaves now although a part of it is still naked.
The guy was completely unstaged. I planned on only getting shots of tree but they were really undramatic. Thanks to this fellow right here.
This is the tree

*Hello from Sid and the Critique Club*

A very appealing image that meets the challenge well.

I agree with your commenters it is indeed a hauntingly beautiful image and it is made so specifically because of the inclusion of the person because to me his pose seems to suggest a certain sorrow at the loss of the tree. Your composition is perfect with the tree on the left and lots of negative space although I personally find the bird so small it is a bit of a distraction it should either be larger or not there at all. There's nothing you could have done in that respect but to have a larger bird flying towards it from the right together with the everything as it is would have been the icing on the cake.

Your exposure is good with good detail throughout, I do like the near silhouettes a lot. To be honest there's nothing else I can comment on I like it a lot, well done Romil

This is great--I like the bird flying overhead too, to break up the negative space.
