Nice mood! I like the pastel look.

You proliferation of posted image continues to improve and this one is no exception Nandakumar.

If you are looking for improvement, there seems to be a hint of noise in the sky. As there is little or no detail there, a soft blur brush should address that for you. I hope this helps!

I agree that but the sky was really blank and atmosphere very misty........

Thank you very much; regards

Some more thoughts?

[Sergio M.]

Nandakumar, I like the extra space you have left above the tree. My thought is it reinforces the idea of the tree stretching and reaching for the sky.

Hi Nandakumar,

I wonder if I might bounce a couple of things off you. I could be way off, just a question to satisfy my own curiosity.

Did you push this image hard? It looks like you could possibly be getting some posterization in the BG. The first thing that made me wonder is there is a bit of it visible in the sky directly above the beautiful tree, which I didn't think was due to lens flare. Could be the reason for the noise as well?

I could be way off Nandakumar. My olde tired eyes have been looking into too many strobes firing off of too many reflective surfaces lately!

Nandakumar,

I agree with Sergio about the crop, it's surprisingly perfect for this composition.
One thought and this is just me, have you considered cloning out those small trees in the left BG? Mostly because it breaks up the interesting rolling hills in the background.

Hi Nandakumar,

I like the simplicity of the scene but have a concern about the image quality overall.

It looks over-processed and over saturated, is that because you have attempted to recover it from the mist? There also appears a significant difference in sharpness/clarity between the upper and lower of the tree which suggests post processing procedure.

Very nice, leaves and grasslands are very difficult to capture properly.

Thank you very much Terry; your eyes are still observing things right; i had subjected the image to many a rough treatments that appeared as dirty scars here and their; so please continue your observations unfailingly

Jack; it was only when you mentioned this, i noticed that and you were perfect in your observation; that needs be removed for a better result
Thank you so much
