help in composition

Took this photo with a 10-22mm. Saw the cloud formation and just had to take a photo. Any comments will be appreciated.

I definitely love the composition, but the halo around the trees is a little funky. If you can tone that down at all, that picture is golden in my book!

I agree, it looks great and I like the perspective. I second what BCDH said about the halo - very nice!

What are you referring to when you talk about the "halo." Keep in mind, I'm just a recent convert from point and shoot and am trying to learn.

Thanks.

Well the image looks like an HDR and the halo around the trees is one of the effects you want to try to avoid. Did you use multiple exposures or just try to convert a single image?

Thank you for your comments.
This was only one shot. Exposed for the clouds, so I got underexposred detail on the foreground (trees, etc.) corrected this with PS using shadows and highlights. Still trying to learn how to control that.

The shadows and highlights tool can also cause the "halo" effect. It's basically a highlighted section of the sky around the trees. Try opening up PS and playing around with the sliders in the shadows & highlights tool while looking at the part where the tree meets the sky. You'll see what we mean!
