Beautiful Marc! Love the different hues of color along with a strong and well placed tree silhouette. Just enough base without too much neg space. The dark band of clouds on top frame that area.
This image would also be very strong cropping out the top clouds and making the image a pano.
You took good advantage of a wonderful lighting situation...
I agree with the crop to a pano. It draws the the eye to the bird circling and makes the tree stand out more. Super good colors make this one a real keeper. Thanks for sharing it.
I keep coming back to look at this beautiful image so it's about time I add my congratulations on such a superb capture. I could look at this image all day long. Fire up the cash register because this has great sales potential.
