I love the tree and the dramatic sky but I'm not a fan of the toning.

It's definitely a different effect and I might like the straight B/W better myself. Or maybe make the tones more subtle? Something to play around with. Thanks!

The tree itself is so dramatic, really an icon. Thanks for looking.

For me the dramatic sky makes it hard to see the tree. This feels like the duotone effect overpowers the image and story. But I respect and appreciate your personal choices

I see your point and tend to agree. I might go back to it and try something different. Thank you.

Agree, I would dial it back. Where do you want the viewer to look?

The tree is the star of the image and I can see where the sky competes or even overwhelms. I like the interplay of the tree and sky but in this treatment it may get lost. Thanks for your input.
