I think the image has potential. The composition is very good. Delineating a beautiful tree against a beautiful sky is always very attractive. But there are 2 important issues here:
1. the horizon needs straightening
2. the whole image could benefit from substantial increase in contrast.
By the way I like cottonwoods too; I live in Cottonwood, AZ.
Good image though. I like it.
Thanks so much for the feedback. Happy Thanksgiving

Looks good in black and white, I would crop a little from the bottom.
I agree. Crop a little from the bottom and straighten the horizon. Other than that it is a really nice image.

I agree with gilpog , except on the horizon , in landscapes the horizon is not always level, except when the horizon is water).
I did an little adj. of the contrast and brightness, The image had a lot more "pop".
I would suggest in the future taking many images at different settings and slightly different comp., some showing of the trees branches, as with people it is usually better not to amputate appendages (limbs)

The tree is so ugly that's why it has no friends. Lol
