So many changes. In nature. These trees were still shaking of their winter’s bareness a weeks ago. Now they are full, light green, and glowing in the early morning sunlight.
Yet.
As I look out of my study window, the branches are still bare with not a new leaf showing. I can’t imagine that those frozen days could kill these trees. They are pretty old. But, you never know. Nature works in funny ways.
Just like life.
The picture. I saw the golden light filtering through the trees. I was having trouble finding a foreground subject that would add a little depth to the picture. I took a couple of steps backward and saw the four trees. Exposing a little more for the light I kept the trees in almost a silhouette. That made the picture a little more powerful. Especially since everything behind is glowing and soft.
Nice light.

I also like how you explained about stepping back until you got the trees to frame the picture. Great tip.

Thanks. There is a lot about composition that all these people selling “the ten tips to make you a great photographer” never talk about. This picture would be better if I could have found a way to frame the picture with three trees. That’s a more natural number. Four is kinda odd.
