![Red Oak in snow](https://images.naturephotographers.network/original/3X/f/9/f9e4d5236d3b6366b231e07053f244dd632dad30.jpeg) We are fortunate to have a 200A park right in the middle of our small city and in the middle of that park is a 54’ tall stone tower that provides wonderful views in all directions. My favorite is a short view right into the middle of the canopy of a large Red Oak tree. Right after a blizzard that coated everything in white, the leaves were revealed by their color and marcescent qualities. ### Specific Feedback and Self-Critique any and all ### Technical Details Sony 6000, 1/100, f/8.0, 50mm, ISO100 with minor adjustments to tone curves and sharpening in LR. ---

Hi John, I think this is a good subject but I find this photo does not help me focus on the difference between the oak tree and the others. Perhaps a tighter crop and more contrast would help bring things out more forcefully. Regards, Jim
