I think I see what you had in mind, but I don't think it came out in the photo. It really looks like a jumbled mess of branches, with no real subject. The house/shed on the left needs to be cloned or cropped out, too.

Tried it without the house, and liked it with it in, perhaps others will have your opinion as well :)

Thanks!

Not a fan of the house, the dead limbs just don't stand out enough.

Try reshooting by using the foot-powered zoom. Get up-close and personal...not macro close, but close enough that we can really explore patterns in the branches and textures on the wood.


1D-III with stuff to stick on it:
70-200L, 28-70L, 24-105L, 300L, 50, 10-17 fish, 2.0x TC
Image editing OK, encouraged, and expected. Thank you for helping me learn!

In addition to what the others said, you can also mess around with processing abit to make the trees stand out more. Here is an example from a recent shoot:

I'd take out the house, focus on the dead tree in front. Maybe b/w or some similar processing


40D, 5D3, a bunch of lenses and other things :cool:

I agree with what the others said; not really much main 'focus' in the shot... Perhaps this is better? I don't know. I played with it for just a few seconds in PSE10. Basically dropped it to black and white, and messed with contrast, brightness, and darkened highlights.
edit: it is set to 'private' on Flickr. ;)

I wonder if the video editors on The Titanic ever went, "Sorry, I can't right now. I'm busy synching the Titanic..."

Have to agree with Kirk.I would have been up close and personal with those trees and textures. Might have more of an impact seeing the bark itself and some twists and turns. The house adds nothing to the scene,the whole image is also on a slant to the left.


you're a great friend, but if Zombies chase us, I am tripping you.

All that green seemed out of place with the dead trees so how about this?

Wow, that gives me an idea for a reshoot, the yard in front of this house is a scary mess of holes and god knows what else ;) By myself so didn't want to take too many chances :)

Course that's what telephoto lens are for right :)

lots of fun advice! i agree, the house doesnt work in the shot... and i like Darin's take on it better, it isolates that dead tree way better.
