Really like the contrast against the bright blue sky

You've done a wonderful job with the light. I love all the textures.

I like how the trunk feels like a painting.

I like how the branches fill the frame.

I love the branches, they look like great big tentacles reaching out to the sky. I don't like what Topaz did to the bark though. I love bark and would liked to have seen the great textures of this pine tree's natural bark. It did a nice job on the blue sky and green needles though.

The "from the group up" angle is classic, but I really like the Topaz effect, that's the first thing that drew me into the photo.

I love the composition.

Not so sure about the topaz.

I like the smudgy effect on the bark. Ahh blue sky, it looks so nice and warm!

i think you stood in the perfect place to take this picture. the shapes the branches make against the sky are so interesting! nice!

I like the structure of the tree (and it's nice to see some sun and a blue sky)

Looking up sometimes gives us interesting perspectives as here! I really like the network of branches and the colors. The little "bursts" of needle look like New Year fireworks :)

It's a popper!
Pretty exciting picture for vegetation :)

Fantastic angle and wonderful blues and greens. I love the quite harsh texture of the branches ending in the soft leaves.

I love the contrast of the green and blue as well as the texture of the bark but what makes it graet is the point of view...

composure is great and i like the POV

When I looked at the thumbnail I thought, "Boring centred shot of a tree" but once I opened it up and saw all the amazing textures and contrasts my opinion changed!

I like the way your eye is led up the trunk to all the strange shapes and patterns created by the branches and the greenery against the blue sky. Very nice shot indeed.

Beautifully composed, exposed, and colorful!

I like the POV as well. It does look like the simplify effect.

Love trees and the angle you took this from is fab.

I'm always a sucker for looking straight up trees and this is no exception. Love the texture of the bark. Very nice.
