Another good one, with great perspective. I can't decide about that greenery on the bottom. You're a careful photographer so obvioulsy you meant it to be there, but I wonder how you (or others) would feel about a crop there . . .

@GJC: GJC- you're absolutely right! I TRIED cropping out the shrubs but just don't look right somehow- that little spot where two branches meet at the bottom is such a sweet spot, and w/out it just don't seem 'right' so I opted to include it. I'll check my files see if I made a back-up shot. Thanks for the comment, I really appreciate your input.
Yes, you're very right about that spot in the "V." Without it the picture lacks something -- perhaps it's the organic connection between the branches that we need to see. Hmmm.

@GJC: I think without that V spot it would just be two dead braches with a stormy background. I think originally the V shape is what caught my attention. I re-do the image a bit, and I think I like my 2nd try better. BTW, this IS my backup shot; the first one was outta focused. Oh well. Thanks GJC.
