Harmonious Complexity

Image taken in Chile Patagonia's Torres del Paine National Park with Mount Los Cuernos in the background. This national park was filled with beautiful remains of trees that were burnt from a massive forrest fire many years back. This place was the ultimate playground for photographers. I noticed this one tree with its branches reaching out and forming a natural frame around Mount Los Cuernos. The tree's complexity is harmonious to its environment.

Nice job, Manuel! This kind of framing by tree limbs rarely works well, but here you've nailed it, as far as I am concerned.

I think there may be a slight processing halo in the skyline where the right limb crosses the hill crest. If not, it looks like it and I'd still burn it in! But you may be a purist, and that's fine.

Good work in any case.

Thanks Chris! Yea I saw this angle and it just worked really well with the shape of the mountain. And thanks for pointing out the halo. Its funny, now that you mentioned it, my eyes are drawn to it when I look at the image lol. I'll be fixing that in PP. Thanks again!

Beautiful. Looks like you managed to find a unique composition of this location! My one complaint is the halos, as Chris mentioned, but otherwise this is a great image. I love the coloring and soft feel.

Thanks a lot! Yea I see the halo now that Chris pointed it out. Glad you like the colouring and feel of the image. It took me a while to get to the proper mood I was going for. Cheers!
