In a hilly area in the morning as the sun was down and creating vertical shadows I started to draw tight frames to bring out some minimalism.

What technical feedback would you like if any?

It’s too soft from processing?

What artistic feedback would you like if any?

I am looking for any advice.

Anghel: I do like the play of light and shadow. I like how you’ve taken a somewhat uninspiring scene and used the light to create a very fine image. Good eye and superb capture. >=))>

Thank you for your appreciation.

I really like this. It reminds me of a painting. Did you try cropping off the left edge to emphasize the two well rendered trees? Normally I might like a third or fourth tree, but here, the simplicity and resonance of a pair would elevate the shot in my opinion.

Your goal of isolating minimalism worked well. I love the splash of light and the shadows creeping in from the top. The vignette is a little heavy for my taste, and I probably would back off on the softness just a little.

@Marylynne_Diggs, @John_Williams Thanks for your advise. I will try to crop more to remove the left side and reduce the vignette.
