[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I'm uploading another old shot and it's entirely my father's fault. Since (for once) the weather was nice today, I'd planned to go out and take some new shots. And then my father decides to pay a visit. And of course, being on crutches after an operation, he couldn't come out with me. So, no shooting today :-(
Ah well, it was nice to have him over. It's been almost two years, so it was well worth sacrificing my photo trip :-)
This is one of my favourite trees and I have absolutely loads of shots of it from different angles.
As is often the case with me, I'm unsure of the crop. I've tried cropping about half of the snow and I like it like that as well. But I keep returning to this version.
I'd love to hear your thought on this.
Cheers / Eric

Nice image. Imo, I would crop sme of the sno (maybe half), and attach a black frame (not too thick) in order to better define the boundaries of the composition.

cheers,
Cristian

So beautiful and simple and bright! The colors are stunning and the compo and quality are so neat and sharp. Great with the tree at the side and those clouds are superb. Perfectly straight horizon line. Lovely!

Lovely - simple composition, strong colours. An excellent photo.

This is a very nice shot of simplicity. IMO, I would have cropped some of the snow, only in that there isn't much to it, not much interest other than the contrast to the tree and the clouds. It almost looks like the photo is unfinished since there isn't any detail to the snow.
You could also crop the shot down to just around the tree if you wanted to, not necessary though.
You have nice clarity of deatil in your tree, the two clouds also add interest.
I can see why you find the tree so interesting. It has so much character and interest.
Well composed and shot.

Very clean composition!
Cropping the snow is not necessary as the overall proportion is pleasing.

simple beauty!

Very simple but effective composition, Eric, with just a few elements: snow, tree, fluffy clouds and wonderful blue sky. I think the crop is perfect as is. Beautiful & peaceful image. Excellent!

Photo très claire, bonne idée.
