Greetings from the Critique Club!

Nice to meet you, Lorraine. :)

This is a hard image to critique because I don't know if I wish you'd stepped 10 feet closer or 10 feet back. As it is, you aren't close enough to force the subject to be the ONLY real thing in the photo, yet you aren't back far enough to have captured the entire tree.

This is a nice silhouette, but I believe silhouettes are mostly about the shape created by the blackness. As such, the tree is a tad thick around the middle and is kinda 'blobby' down there. Perhaps a shot with more branches would have been more interesting, compositionally.

I think the clouds at the bottom of the image detract from the clear blue skies upper left. I would have preferred one or the other.

Happy shooting!

Very nice tree silhouette. The picture looks a bit crowded, some more empty space would have been nice.

ooh I really like this...lots of strength in the main limbs in contrast to the budding shoots..well balanced and great lighting makes a very impressive composition.,10

Colors are nice but image is too busy without a real sence of subject.

No title! Cool to have the sun centered right to the middle of the tree.
