[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Waiting for sunrise at Bryce Canyon one morning, I became distracted by all the unique shaped trees scattered around the rim of the canyon. This tree in particular kept demanding my attention.

I did wish there was less going on at the base, but couldn't find a POV that just had the tree itself and still get the colors behind it.

Hi Vincent,
What a great time of day to get this shot,
great colour and presentation
thanks
L.

a generous fulfilling of the tree's demand, Vincent. you presented it here so beautifully against the already wonderful colours of BG. its slanting is really distinctive as the other trees are up straight.
the transition of colours of the BG is so pleasant. well done!

TFS

Good work, as usual! Trees like this deserve some special recognition:) Beautifully composed and striking colors. The silhouettes all work well together for context and balance. Stunning!

Hi Vincent,
Nice capture,good silhuette.
Best regards,

This gets a 'wow' and I don't wow stuff lightly. The gradient through the sky in this shot is stunning. The tree's silhouette is beautifully, sharply captured against it and the diagonal it creates across the frame works so well.

I know what you mean about the base of the frame, but really it's not an issue!

Hi Vincent,I like this early morning capture,the colours are
vibrant from the bright orange yellow through to the dark blues is a beautiful balance.The shape of this tree, just asks to be shot as a silhouette.The base seems good to me, this is a strong composition & vibrant image IMHO

I am always drawn to images with silhouettes, Vincent and few are as good as this. The angle of the tree against the changing sky colours makes it very effective. Personally I don’t have a problem with the extra foliage at the bottom as it kind of anchors the image. Wonderful as always.
Warmest Regards
Wanda
