I like the color in the first shot and do like the rule of thirds positioning of the tree. I wonder if by showing a bit more of the foreground and sky you will get more of the desolate feeling that you captured in the second crop.
Both images are stunning for completely different reasons.
Paul I like both images, 2 alittle bit more. I cant help but wonder if the clouds were moving. that looks like a great shot for the nd filter and a loooong exposure. super shots indeed.
Lovely shot. Like them both.
I too like both. Nicely done, Paul.
Nicey done paul, I like the expance of #2 gives a real sense of loneliness.
Hi Paul,
I think No.2 is a fantastic picture.
Regards
John
