This is a picture from the archives. I have taken it a couple of years ago in the Northern Cape province of South Africa outside the small town of Kenhardt.

Hey Morkel,
All things considered....you got pretty good seperation in the trees. I like the way the clouds in the sky mimic the flow of the trees. I may prefer a bit less base.....but lets see what others chime in. Nice job with the sweet morning light!

[Elmar Venter]

Thanks Roman. I see it as a compliment that you confuse my work with Morkel's ;)

OOOOps! Sorry Elmar!!!......can you tell I'm multitasking on 1000 things today??? 100 lashes with a wet noodle for me!

Hi Elmar, As Roman stated beautiful light with a sky that has alot of interest. The foreground is handled well where it's not dominant. I realise you have so many angles to work with based on the light direction but I would have preferred more separation or a smaller grouping...if possible...

Hi Elmar, very cool trees and sky. I agree on the base as lots of negative area as more sky as that is where the interest is.

Really enjoy the image especally the sky

Hi Elmar, great lighting and clouds, I like the foreground as included seems like just enough to me.

Love the image and the sky is great.. I'd go for a bit more sky and less FG....
