My first impression of this image is one of “entropy.” The scene feels visually chaotic, with deep shadows and bright
highlights that overwhelm the composition. In contrast, the top-right quarter offers a greater sense of calm. I am particularly
drawn to the two groups of three trees. It would be worth experimenting further with a small vertical panorama of this area,
which could create a more impactful composition. The key would be to retain sharp detail and a balanced tonal range.
