Very serene. I like the framing of the tree by the light. Hardly noticed the building.

Congratulations.

Thanks, Anita, I think Barry should stop nitpicking and focus on the positives of the images. I had no problem with the building as it was in the fog and the tree takes most of the image.


Absolutely agree. The fog blurred the building. Actually, initially I just glanced and thought it was a tree, I don't think it detracted ONE bit.

Nice job of making this tree feel special. The branches are a fine shape. Not so sure about centering it when you have that building on the right.
