About the Image(s)
"This image was made at a local reserve named Dog Rocks Reserve. It is maintained for the local community and is a magnet for photographers. I confined this image to the trees and grassland rather than the rocks of which there are many.
The small tree on the horizon framed by the larger tree in the foreground caught my eye and I crouched low to get this view. The sky adds some background interest but is not the star of the show.
I edited in Lightroom by cropping, adding contrast and converting to black and white because to me it made a better image, then masking the sky to reduce the exposure a little.
Fujifilm X-T4, 10-24mm lens @ 13.2mm, ISO 160, f8, 1/450 sec, hand held
Your thoughts are welcome."

I think you needed to be closer to the big tree, and if you had used a longer lens, you would have made the small tree seem closer.
When I first glanced at this, I thought tree within tree referred to the big tree with its side branch touching the ground. I think that is the most effective composition here.   Posted: 10/09/2024 04:16:33
Depending on the photo, some channels will have little effect and others will give very different looks. I assume these affect the underlying colors.
I would also experiment with cropping to get the big tree in the foreground less deadcenter. I t hink the bent tree then serves. more as a leading line.   Posted: 10/09/2024 05:17:54
