That is such a unique tree and great lighting! What are the details of how you shot it? What time did you get up to get there to get the shot?
I'd like to see this in a 4x5 format, the right side doesn't add much value and my opinion. It looks like it might have been a small challenge processing it given the light hitting the rocks behind it, nice job. The only think I'd do is perhaps put a radial on the tree an add a bit of white or exposure to balance the sun behind it and add a linear gradient to the bottom to keep your eye on the tree and light.
This makes me want to visit South Africa! (Planning on Kenya next October!) Posted: 10/10/2025 23:01:14
