Hi Deborah,
I'm so pleased to see your picture here. The tree has exceptional delicate structure. The fence at the left provides a sense of depth and boundries. Boundries create the basis for understanding and argument and helps define the isolation of the tree, almost imprisoned or excluded from what is beyond the fence.
I'd love to see much more of the scene and to be able to know the rest of the tree and see the end to the foreground branches.
We seem to be neither close enough to isolate tree sub-structure not far away enough to be able to set the tree fully in its world.
There appears to be a bird in the left mid field on water or snow?
I'd love to see more of this shoot as the scene is intriguing and the tonalities wonderful.
Thanks for sharing,
Asher
