Early morning, -19C, frozen fingers, hand held. Been getting some good comments so I thought I would put it out. Not really trying for photo of the year, but maybe I could get a few details more than 'I like the tree shot'. I shoot what captures my attention :)

It is a "Charlie Brown" tree. But to me, that's what makes it more interesting.

Good picture but I'd like to see at least half the sky cropped out.

I agree about the sky. This may work well as a horizontal using the negative space to one side of the tree or the other.

Another agreeing on the sky being too much of the photo, I would maybe crop out those smaller rocks in the foreground, allowing the eye to see the lovely colors on the snow firstly. Composition is great, and the graduating colors are fabulous. .

I liked it even with all the sky in it.

It gave it a sense of being alone/left to die

The crop I would have made would have been to get the rocks out of the bottom of the picture

Lots of ways you could do this beautiful shot.

I tried: widening on the left, cropping from top and bottom -- and cheating on the tree top. :oops:
