    Hi Robert, Great color and texture within the image.I also like the fact the tree is sitting on a diagonal ledge. Since the center of interest is the tree I thought the original comp minimalized it too much. I cropped it much tighter to emphasize the lone tree more. I also brought up the green a small bit.
    There are other crops but this one example...

    Dave's crop is exactly the crop I envisioned when I open the thread. The diagonal cliff and that tree are the strongest elements and deserve all the attention.

    Good job see the possibilities here. Many would pass this by.

    Hey Dale,
    one of my favorite areas......I will offer another opinion and possible direction......while Dave's crop is where I would go approximately top and bottom.......I would leave the LH side......more pano....why? I like the curve and lighter layer there........I also darkened the area behind the tree and lightened the tree.......A bit heavy, but I wanted to make the tree stand out more from the BG rocks. Hope this just gives you another option to explore. Let me know your thoughts on this.

    I like all 3 versions although I think Roman's version is the best. Great light and colors. The lone tree makes it special.

    Beautiful shot. Lovely textures and nice use of the tree in the composition.
