I do like how the branches swing up and to the right. They feel like the clouds themselves in a way. Even the mound has that feeling about it. This is a fine picture that takes time to appreciate because it seems so ordinary…
Thank you for posting this! I like Igor’s comment “… a fine picture that takes time to appreciate because it seems so ordinary…”. Although not ordinary, I agree that you can and should spend some time with this image.
I think what caught my idea looking at the thumbnail were the tones, especially oin the upper right, where the branches seem to reach out and/or point. I also like how this reaching and the geometry of the tree implicates a wind.
A fine photograph. Would I change anything? I would try what toning down the ground at the bottom could do for the image, not that it is really necessary though.
