Tree and Sky (C&C welcome)

So, I was wandering through Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens (rest of the gallery is here) when I looked up to see this:



The blue fringes on everything give it a "magical" quality that I just love, but what does everything else think?

(Incidentally, this is pretty much my first post here, but please don't pull any punches on my account )

Hi mithrandi and welcome to Dgrin!!

I love this perspective because it's very "real" to me, meaning this is what you see when you're out in the world. Also, I'm short so I always look up.:D

Shots like this though can be difficult to expose for because of the brightness in the sky. It looks a bit blown out here, even though you did manage to retain some of the blues that you were trying to capture.

I think trying for a shorter exposure and even letting the tree become a dark silhouette would be great. Or perhaps approach this in the early evening or in the morning, when the sky is a little less flat?

Just some suggestions. I hope to see more from you!
