Love it - beautiful and elegant

Very nice! Crop actually looks quite good to me. There's a sense of space and tranquillity.

Nice composition, nice colors, nice photo.

It's a beautiful, tranquil image as it is, Marius. I would be tempted to crop, something like the first appended image. Ideally, I'd have preferred the tree near the left edge of a similar background, so that the protruding branch "points" into the frame, but I don't know if that was even possible at the time. (I seem to recall a similar reaction to an earlier post of this.) I append edits implementing both ideas. But I'm a fairly extreme fan of asymmetry. Forgive the artifacts in the second.

Thank you Chris
The prev comment was from another lonely tree i posted - that also had an asymmetrical branch Structure which was also not “pointing “ into the empty space. It seems to upset the harmony of the photo. Yet another lesson learned . Tnx

I'm not sure everyone would agree about the "pointing". Very subjective!

Mmm this was to be posted under the new banner proposal :(

Well, I think it's a goer, Marius, as the banner has a lot of writing top left. I reversed my own profile banner image for this reason.

I don't see how the suggested banner proportions are right - 450 X 1100 px or so, if I recall. Surely the actual banner is much more elongated?

Yeah ... this is what i mentioned in the other post that the crop is not correct. I did the original to a 4:3 for a frame... will go back and tweak the numbers until the confess
