I like how the clouds seem to be radiating from the tree. The silhouette certainly works for me.

Great silhouette. Am wondering about going more square with this to play up the symmetry. Hard to say, just a though.

OK, be honest, did you shoot this from a tripod? Or did you hand-hold for the 1/8,000 second exposure?

The clouds patterns make this a real visual treat. Well done, Peter!

Peter, this looks identical to your post on 9/26/14. Am I missing something?

This is such a graphic, and visually effective capture Peter. I love trees when they loose their leaves, it is like the true character is shown proudly. You managed to proudly capture this tree's character wonderfully.

Nice composition and the clouds adding a lot to the image, increasing shadow light just a little bit would make a balance.
