Great composition, Bishop! The simplicity of this photo is so appealing, and yet there are layers of shadow, clouds, snow, etc, all blending subltly together to achieve this effect. Good work! #2176085

Bishop
At first it is so simple, yet I agree with Brian on the layers in it. Very simple it seems yet so very appealing with the contrasts of one tree, snow and clouds and blue sky. Very pretty!
