This may not be your style, Jeremy, but I wonder if you could lower the exposure and then “pop the whites” so that the sunlit tree tip, the white bark trees, and the stream in the background stand out more dramatically. To my eye, the image could use more contrast, but that may not fit with what you want.

Re: catching the lightReply #4 on: October 4, 2020 at 2:52 pmYes, that is “better” IMHO. How would it look to you with an even darker background and more pop to the yellow and white trunks? I could show you rather than describe what I am trying to say. You know, picture worth a thousand words 😉 If you wouldn’t mind, but of course it is your image and I do like drama.

Re: catching the lightReply #6 on: October 7, 2020 at 3:17 pmHi Jeremy,
what just occurred to me on no.2 is a pattern of diagonal lines (from left to bottom right), they create a fan-shape. The lit up tree is an aberration in that pattern. it would be interesting to see what happens if you accentuate that further. Although this is a natural/organic subject, the actual graphic appearance is of a “geometric nature”…
Regards
Frank

Maybe with a little more saturation of the yellow.

Website and blog: www.DavidEckelsPhotography.comRe: catching the lightReply #8 on: October 8, 2020 at 2:01 pmI like it, David. You’ve carried the darkening I did (at your suggestion) even further and it’s effective, particularly the way in which the white trees stand out.
