Late one afternoon, sunlight slipped over a nearby hill and was caught by a smatter of upper branches.

On a cold winter day in the bare woods, that touch of sun on the tops of the trees promises a hint of warmth that will not come. I like the idea and the execution. Could see a small crop from the top.

A nicely ordered comp and the kiss of light makes for a fine focal point against the nice blue sky.

Ronald, I like the graphic look and feel of this image. Your comp works great and that light across the upper tree branches really makes this image for me. Very nice!!

Beautifully done, Ronald. I love the graphic quality here along with the hint of warmth against the cool blue tones of the sky. Great eye to spot this.
