When I first saw this image I was amazed at how deep blue the sky is and I wondered if you used a polarizer on your camera for this shot. The perspective is awesome and adds to the photo. The tree depicted as a silohuette is also amazing. The building in my opinion could have been left out as it is competing too much with the tree, also it subtracts a little from the "weather" aspect.
All in all a decent shot, but lacking on the "wow" effect.
the chaotic lines of the tree work well against the straight lines of the building.. Your stretching it a bit with the challenge though.. 7 for a good photo.
Great perspective shot, and a good approach to the challenge. My first thought was that the building should have been shot from the center, but then I realized that you would have lost the silhouette of that wonderful bare tree! In my opinion, it adds a lot of interest to the shot, and creates a sort of 'grounding' and sense of place. Very well done!
