I was trying to catch the rhyme between the buttonwood snag and the sky. Sanibel Island is in the background.
Canon 1D3, 17-40 f4 @ 24mm
Polarizer + ND(I think)
ISO 50, f11, 1.3 sec, EC=+1
Digital yellow filter applied

Excellent repeating lines in the tree and clouds. Classis B&W conversion makes it even better.

Beautiful image. Great sky. Nicely seen and captured. Toning down the left side water might help emphasize that snag a bit more. Well done.

I like this comp, it's a well done B&W - GREAT SKY.
I suppose toning down the water left side might help as Larry has suggested,
But I like the drama here as is with earth, water, and sky "clashing"..in a good way
Well done

Buck,
This has a wonderful Clyde Butcher feel to it... I love those deeply saturated/polarized skies. I might like to see the water and tree highlights knocked down a bit. A marquee tool dragged across the horizon and down, then an exposure, offset, and gamma correction. The tree above the horizon could then be hit with a small burn brush set to highlights @ 20%.... sorry, but I'm a PS geek. Lovely Image. What's so great about this is the echo of lines between the clouds and the limbs of the tree. Beautifully seen!

Thanks, Marc
My PhotoShop skills are not particularly sophisticated. I've been a little intimidated by the exposure slider box, but I think I can dive into it. I think the highlights in the bush are accentuated by sharpening after resizing for the web.
Butcher's gallery is just a ways down the Tamiami Trail from me. I imagine that his cloudscapes have probably influenced the way I look at skies.
