departure at dawn

Really beautiful work again with very nice lighting, Richard!

With best regards,

Ruud.

I really like the shot very much however, the tree top is cut off and should either be totally cut, like half the tree top off or included whole.  Maybe I'm wrong on this take but it's just my opinion  I love the overall exposure and lighting, the rolling hills and the hazy sky.  But I keep coming back to the tree and thinking, what would it look like in a frame?

I really like the colours and contrast range here. The birds add to the atmosphere too. I like the composition, but I have to agree with the previous poster about the tree: It would be nice to see all of it. Nevertheless this is a great piece of art.

Love the light and processing. The treetop doesn't bother me so much because the real attention getter for me is the curvy lines in the landscape, and the light/shadow relationships.
