    I was wondering if anyone could please give me any advice on this shot.
    Cheers

    me , i would ;
    make shadows darker , sun is from opposite so they should be dark
    reduce noise , this will also soften which i think is good here
    crop out some of the grass in foreground

    Am not a LS type, so take comments with some of the stuff we used to get in bags of crisps :)

    Several aspects stand out to me.
    Did you want / intend all of the LH tree to be silhouetted, rather than just the upper 75% or so?
    I've no idea whether it would've been a better shot, but it probably would've been worth trying.
    At this angle / pov the majority of the RH tree gets lost in the background tree line ... which, to me emphasises the fence thing around its trunk ... and seems somewhat out of place - certainly draws my eye.
    Residual con trail in the sky is a bit eyecatching too.
    Agree with Bas re too much grass in fg.

    All imo, of course - but what do I know :)

    You are perfectly correct in what you have said PP. The bottom of the trunk was quite light but I did add a wee touch of light to it. The tree on the right is crap if you don't mind me saying so. I certainly got rid of the residual contrail in the sky. I should have noticed that before I posted it. As I say it is amazing how vital things one should notice and they miss. I have cropped a wee bit off the foreground and it is better.
    Thanks again
