This is the tallest Birch I've ever seen, so I wanted to show off it's height. The sky was really this blue, so it made for the perfect backdrop!

This is a very good shot Debbie. I would have rotated the picture though so the tree was more upright, it would give more perception to the height. Judy #27328Debbie S. May 26, 2019
Thanks Judy, funny you should say that. I tried rotating it to vertical, and it lost something. I felt it had a more abstrast, skewed quality this way, that I preferred. I appreciate the comment though, and always welcome constructive advice. :) #70634Judy M. Sayers May 26, 2019
If you tried rotating it and didn't like the results than perhaps I would have been in error to rotate it. I'm still learning too. Either way it's a very decent photo and I like it. Judy #70648Mette Vendelboe Allison May 26, 2019
It makes for a more interesting and different shot this way - gives it an abstract look. Wonderful sky! Well done! #70657Debbie S. May 26, 2019
