How about cleaning up the dust spots before you post. Maybe a lower shooting angle and dodge the ground a little bit. I still like it though.

Man - rough crowd... but he's right. Can you give us some technical details with your post (film, lens, shutter and aperture, tripod or no, time of day?) - is this fog back in the hills?

I do like the angle you took with the tree and how it's got two large branches that reach up... almost anthropomorphic in that way. Perhaps theres a way you could reshoot this as Ken said which would accentuate this, creating more of the lonely tree really reaching to the sky look.

The picture was shot early in the morning with Ilford PanF Plus. I used a 28mm lens set at F16 on a tripod to try and get as much detail as possible. Sorry about the dust, i had not noticed it before. I now plan on retaking the picture this winter and possibly this spring trying some different angles. Thanks for the comments.

I love the tree. I like the composition too... except there's too much boring sky. But I don't think I'd want to crop it. Can you return to the location when the weather is different? A dramatic sky would be a big improvement.
