EDITED to add it is an iPhone shot.

I like this a lot. Also, liked the surprise of the "ribs" in the dark triangle crossed by the tree trunk. But if I had to add something negative I'd have to say I don't like the way the upper ROF whitish polygon leads my eye out of the frame. Don't have any idea what could be done about that, if anything. My first reaction overall was how oddly unexpected. So, VERY interesting image, Slobodan.

Thanks, Dave.

The white part is a blue sky, so, technically, it could easily be made darker. I played with various levels of darkening or lightening it, but ultimately settled for this result. I sort of squint and try to judge the whole image and how each geometric shape (and shade) interacts with the rest.

[David Eckels]

Yes, I like the geometric shapes juxtaposed to the natural tree. I guess framing would be important; wide mat maybe.

I like it a lot, too. Interesting and different.

Superb Slobodan. For me, at least to some extent, it also expresses the organic vs the inorganic, which in turn is echoed by the play of light and shadow and shapes within shapes.

Very well seen, this a beautiful but complex shot.
Bravo!
