Forget about 3rds, how about 16ths? Under a Weeping Willow on a cold Winter's day. Straight from the camera using a modified monochrome setting and slightly underexposed. Dodge and burn tools applied on foreground.

edit: To users with a P.C. when setting a vertical image as your desktop it's best to choose the smallest size and set the image in the center under display properties/ desktop.(Choose a neutral background.) Mac users, you're on your own.

What a great moody piece this is Jay. Very artistic and obvious knowledge of the camera.

That is my favorite tree precisely because it's so bloody elegant and moody, depending on the day/weather. Gorgeous shot.

I couldn't get the full effect until downloading. Like the mood under the tree at the trees. Clouds and lighting enhance the view.

It does give a feeling of shelter from the intense clouds! Great capture!

I just had this in VB and wanted to stop by and tell you that I rarely give a 10 for images here,but you just got one from me. Beautiful image and very well composed. I love the soft tones and the mood it sets. Very well done and I hope to see many more. Congrats.

I love the tones in this. I really love your willingness to try something different. This is a very appealing image, Jay. I think it's a combination of the gracefulness of the willow branches hanging down to meet the tops of the distant trees and the color tones you have created with your toolbox of ideas.

This is magnificent Jay!!! A most professional and natural photo. So much to enjoy in it. This would be an awesome poster
in some museum of art. You've put this together so perfectly.
Framing is fantastic. And the depth, looking thru the Willow into the rest of the sky clouds. Wow. And the land part is just awesome too. Bravo on this, it is totally perfect!! Verena

Why do the pictures come out square when the lens is round??
