My first photo since completing my film tests. I thought about lightening up the tree to show a little detail but decided against it. What do you think?
I agree with Doc on the sky, but my first reaction was that perhaps the foreground could be more interesting if it was dodged, not burned. But leave the tree as is.
I think differently than the other postings. I do not know how much shadow detail you have on the negative but I would choose to show all that was available and I would do so be choosing whatever lower filter number is required to achieve that. I know that dark skies resonate with many people but I am generally adversly affected in my enjoyment of a photo that seems to have overly manipulated sky tones. Therefore I would not recommend any sky burning. I feel that a negatives should mostly be printed to only achieve a convincing black under the anticipated viewing conditions.
Nothing wrong with a good silouhette. I would keep it the way it is for this particular shot. I have a tree nearby my house that I am just waiting for the right sky for a good silhouette
