Elegance, a photo from Quebec, Central

Photographer's Note

In the Domain Maizerets, this old willow charmed my glance. Slept in the herb, I tried to seize the elegance of its branches tightened towards the sky.
I used NeatImage to remove the grain.

That makes me dizzy! The trunk leads the eye up the tree very fast. I like your choose of composition, with the branch extending out to the right for most of the photo.
I thought it might look good in B&W too..
Well seen.

Well done Huguette. Wonderful perspective.
I don't know if elegance is the right word here..I feel more intimidated :).
I think some sharpening might be in order and also converting to B&W (Like Midnight Suns' workshop but with levels adjusted) would probably do good here.
Good work, well seen.

I agree that a conversion to B&W would be lovely, even a moody duotone would be nice - blues or greens. Definitely needs to be sharper - don't know what your DOF was, but it might not have been wide enough. Lovely perspective, and very well seen scene!

Beautiful angle for the photo which allows to seize the run-up of branches towards the sky. The trunk makes its effect here. Curiously, Bryan's ws gives another pleasant aspect in N*B. Good shot!
