I'm going to go against Dunc's comments here - I don't like the tree. Too large and too much at odds with the rest of the scene - a very bright tree popping out against the almost black inkyness of the forested mountain. There's also little bits of foliage left in the frame that could do with removal at the bottom. The blown sky doesn't actually bother me much - the clouds blend into it nicely creating a high key effect. Adam

I like the way you've used the tree as an interesting foreground, and strong compositional block. The more I look at this, the more I like it, but it really is a shame about the blown sky & highlights to the mountain top. You did well capturing detail in the shaded mid-ground mountain, but guess a double exposure would've been the only option to capture both that, and the bright areas. Good shot, Dunc
