The tree may be dead, but it's hanging around for something.
Taken at northern end of rwy34 Melb airport.
Still not sure if I like or not but have had positive reviews from ppl so thought I'd post it here for your perusal

I like it.

Your use of the negative space, and the placement of the subject in an unusual and unexpected place, make this a very fine image. Exposure is good, as is the B&W conversion.

use of the negative space


:agree:


The image reminds me of veins or capillaries spreading thru a organ or something. My only suggestion would be on the sharpness of the branches, maybe sharpen them up a bit to get them more silhouetted against the sky.

Good copyright placement too! in this image the copyright and name add to the image imo. :up:

:agree: This is the sort of pictures that you see hanging around in fine art exhibits.....

I wonder whether adding a few birds to the left would improve or detract from the image...As Gary was indicating the negative space is important....

Love it !! Would love to see it hanging large on a huge wall - would have fantastic impact !!

Wow I'm really happy with the response!....of which I was not expecting :)
Still not sure if I like it or not lol, today I might see if I can get it printed huge somewhere to help me decide.

I think you have all rekindled my hope.... I'm at the point of throwing out my kit lenses as I just no matter what cannot get a sharp image, even with a tripod and no wind and it's driving me totally nutty!
but thankfully the 50mm 1.8 here has proved it's worth..AGAIN :)

have you tried reversing the pic so the branch comes in from the left ?
