Judy, that’s a clever shot and nicely framed. I especially like the shadows of the trunks coming forward.

But…you need to do some clean up, low in the sky both sides of the tree. Looks to be dust on the lens/filter and there’s also two white spots to the LHS of the tree. Maybe too that errant ray below the LHS branch.

Ahhh yes, I see it now, I forgot to do the clean up! Thanks so much, I’ll take care of that.

I love the photo! I also noticed the white spots near the trunk of the tree. I wonder about maybe removing a few on the dead small branches? They catch my eye a bit - just a thought. Beautiful shot!

Yes it’s true that the image needs some clean up but the photo is for me very suggestive and gives rise to emotion. I love it. Did you took it with your iPad?

Hi, thank you…yes I do need to do some clean up. I forgot that my lens had a smudge on it. No, I did not take it with the ipad. But, I had sent the photo to my ipad and uploaded it to this site from the ipad, thus, I didn’t have the details of what the photo was shot at.
