Title: Tall Lonely Tree
Post by: MartinSpence on February 18, 2014, 07:30:04 am

Took a photo of this amazin tree in Malahide just outside Dublin.

I love trees, and this one is pretty unusual.

An interesting tree and a nice shot as well. What is your reasoning behind including the branches in the upper left part of the frame?

The tree has an attractive form and is worth multiple visits to capture different skies and compositions.

I will also use elements such as the tree branches upper left. For better or worse, to me it helps ground the image and keep focus on the main element and keep the eyes from wandering off into the sky on the left. I refer to them as "blockers". Sort of the same purpose a vignette might serve.  ;D
