I am working through a composition tutorial and this chapter is an exercise in lines in black and white. Shot with a Canon T6, 55-250mm. I have cropped the shot 3 different ways. I don't think I got the impact that I was looking for. I wanted more of a tunnel vision to the tree, more of a forced perspective. I tried shooting with a 24mm fixed lens but it was just too wide of an angle. Any suggestions on how I could have improved the shot? A lower angle of view? A different lens?
I like the top shot in landscape mode and here's why. The horizontal nature of the shot is part of the composition. It contrasts well with the leading lines to the tree. I also like the amount of sky because it balances with the foreground. I think that if you added some post-processing - like more contrast - this shot would be very appealing. I like it more than all the others that are posted.
