I saw this tree when we were at the Grand Canyon the other day and I thought it looked cool. Once I saw the picture on my computer, I thought it would look very dramatic as a B/W photo. It's one of my favorites from the trip.

Jul 26, 2012 13:01 | #3 Which do you prefer? At first I felt like the leaving those limbs helped balance the photo, but they were also a little distracting. I'm not sure which I like best.

Jul 26, 2012 13:09 | #4 In a perfect world I would like the tree limb come up to the top corner but I see why you left it, it does seem to help balance it out, just wish it went up higher. But looking at them both I prefer your original Website
