 The Flagstaff ponderosa pine have great texture in their bark. I wish I had been on sight a bit earlier for a little less harsh light.

There's something about this lovely, spare image that I find very appealing. The contrasting textures of the two subjects are very effectively shown. The lighting is beautiful. But I think it's the composition and the bold crop that I like best. 8

Nice work on the composition. Lighting is OK, but could be a little more dynamic, particularly on the close tree. There is not enough of a distinction between the tree in the background and the foreground tree.

I wish there was a small gap between the trees. They seem run together in this shot, and I think it detracts from the overall image you are presenting.

Nice contrast of textures. The long shadows make for a more interesting photo.
