I shot this image this morning with a decent amount of fog coming through the area. I had the day off from work and knew i must take advantage of the opportunity! So, I went to this area that I had recently scouted out and snapped this image of a tree that had grown in a bizarre way. I like how it seems to work well with the background shapes in the forest and the scene worked well enough for me! ![December%20Fog%20(online)-3](https://images.naturephotographers.network/original/2X/8/88682eb05324f56c6c2bf3ca9800082a4596e8d5.jpeg) ### What technical feedback would you like if any? What are your thoughts on the composition given the tree being broken in such a way. I see it as creating triangles in the image while also bringing interest, but I would like to hear more input! ### What artistic feedback would you like if any? I process fairly neutral with the Fuji colors bringing a nice mood to the scene. I almost never feel a need to go much further with my woodland scenes. I would be interested in knowing if this approach works for others in the group as well. ### Pertinent technical details or techniques: Single image with processing in Lightroom. ---

This works for me. It has a great Lord of the Rings feel to it. ---

Kyle, Love this! Great mood and atmosphere with the fog. But it’s the character of both these two trees that makes this one for me. In fact, I would say they are a pair - a pair of dancers. I would go so far as to call this, “The bow and curtsy…” This is excellent and a great find and capture; even the muted colors go along well. Lon ---

Works for me too! The special shape catches the eye, and due to the brighter branches it is nicely separated from the bg. The second tree has a fitting shape, ‘bending’ a bit over the triangular one! ---

Works for me. Those trees are very interesting and the fog makes for some nice separation of the elements. I might be inclined to darken the URC and the LRC a little since the eye is drawn to those lighter areas. Excellent image. 🖖 ---

I like that idea for a title! Thank You 🙂 ---

The relationship between the two trees is so strong that, for me, it’s no longer the literal scene but the social interaction of 2 living subjects. I see it as one bowing and the other lecturing, but there are numerous interpretations. This added dimension to a woodland scene makes it stronger imo.
