This is another one of my favorite models.
This tree resides in a farmers field at the North East corner of Kennedy Rd and 16th.Ave in Markham Ontario. It is the subject of my four seasons project as well. I was literally lying in the field in the snow to get the right angle for this shot. I'm sure the motorists driving by thought I was crazy.
Hope it does well

I would have rotated the image slightly counterclockwise since the tree is leaning to the right. I know that may be how it looks in real life, but it is a distraction nonetheless. Underexposing by a few stops and burning a little more could have given your sky more depth.
I love winter trees. You made almost everthing perfect. Foreground, space above the tree, main object slightly off-set, nice clouds in the sky, but I am sure you will agree with me, your photo is not a whow photo. It`s beautifull but basically it`s boring. Sorry. I have done many like that. What would make it whow is a more dramatic light. Read any photobook and prof. photographers talk about waiting waiting and waiting for the right light or they will come back when perfect. Sometime we just don`t have the time for that. Go well
