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. \>=))\> ---

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. ML ---

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.
