The shadow is huge and just ark with almost no details, The early morning light absorbed by fog. Bad news in the backpack to be digested made me developing the scenery in this pale & dark way.

This is really nice! I like the composition. The tree and sun centered together feels right. Not too big a fan of the dark sides. I wonder if the darkness was more gradated from bottom (more) to top (less)?
Hi Jennifer! The original frame is quite homogen in terms of brightness. I darkened it and added two pcs of oval shapes to get this.
It makes sense it light of "bad news in the backpack to be digested."
Thank you for understanding! There are sufficient 'beautiful' images out there. This one I see as a reflection, swinging between two states... Please don't worry about me, I am OK!
I love the atmosphere you have created in this image. However, like Jenny I find the black frame overwhelming - drawing my eye from tree to sun then to the harsh contrast between fog and frame on the left.
A tighter crop works better for me, adding more weight to the tree itself. Of course you/others may feel differently, I'm just adding a comparison to allow a slightly different viewpoint.
Thank you Alan for your idea & feedback! A suitable also for me way to crop it a bit more to make it less dark.
