Hi Tejal. I can see what you are trying to do with this but the composition isn't doing anything for me im afraid. Someone else might dissagree though. For mee i would need to see the bottom of the trees in this image but thats just me.

It's nature photography and no real need to crop as subject is the same throughout. The ways to emphasize such a scene is to analyze for tonal changes, angles of view, and particular patterns. If you are able to reshoot, consider close ups of a particular tree and utilizing the elements listed. Nicely done.

I like the texturing of the trees...the complicated branches going from one place to the other in confusion is actually nice once you get to look at them closely and longer.I like the conversion too.

You have tackled a very very difficult subject. Technically it is good. The main problem is that the viewers eyes wander all over the image without an obvious key point or place to pause briefly. Even a small animal, bird, group of growing flowers or a little stack of wood may help.

An important skill a photographer needs is to be able to make some sort of order out of the visual chaos in a scene. In this photograph you have not been able to achieve it successfully.

Thanks Chris for your valuable feed back.

If you crop from the bottom to remove all of the ground - then it reminds me of 'Blue Poles'.

The image looks " busy " but then this is how these trees did grow, so for me it is " Nature " and I accept the photo as it is, I even like it very much.......

Thanks Paul for your valuable feedback. Things are quite clear to me now.

Tejal,

Nice, but I would get even closer to the trunk area and concentrate on the textures and any play of light that can be achieved.
