A fine looking shot with excellent composition and great colors. I like the flat light and the outstanding details in the tree. The low horizon really emphasizes the foreboding sky.

A virtual 6 for overall impact! The gum tree is indeed very tall!
Impressive capture with fine details from top to bottom.
Harmonious dramatic colors.
Excellent lighting, sharp focusing & ideal vertical framing.
Thanks for sharing!

I like the angle you used for this shot of the tall gum tree with the stormy sky in the background. Love all the different cloud formations you captured here and the patterns made against the sky by the branches, twigs and leaves of the tree. Lighting and focus very good. Very nice composition.

Comment from Tasimagery
This is a very nice image, but just lacks that tiniest oomph.

The colours are good, the clarity spot on and the POV works nicely. My only concern is I would have loved to see a bit more from the clouds. I think a little bit of saturations would really bring them to the fore.

Overall, a great image.
