Basically, a very attractive photograph. The overall simplicity helps. It looks a little otherworldly. The viewer must wonder the place.
When filling the monitor display, the scene takes on more life from more light on the environment. Nicely composed and captured.
If lifted, the mid-tones might serve the subject better.

"If lifted"? Perhaps. But that leaves a question about what "the subject" actually is. As someone who sometimes questions 'subject' as it relates to photography --notwithstanding the fact I've read somewhere that images that feature 'solo trees' are hackneyed and overdone-- I'd be pleased to be shown how what has been posted could better express what was there at the time.

Really like that image Jim ... it's an example why I regard your work so highly. I'm afraid I would have walked by that photo & just not seen it!!!!! Guess that makes me a whole lot less creative. But be that as it may, it's a great shot (& title by the way) ... really pops on download. Thanks for sharing.

Subject: Tree on Plain.
Of course, some photographers prefer a caption that lends a slant to the content within the frame.
As to hackneyed here, I say so what? Besides, even if hackneyed, your photograph excels for its capture under interesting conditions, and it produces a sense of place. Not even most non-hackneyed photographs achieve this look.
Per my critique and your request, I've lifted the mid-tones slightly, in Adobe Camera Raw: Tone Curve > Parametric Tab whereat I pulled up the center of the curve about 1/3rd of a section. I did nothing else.
This adjustment brought out slightly more visual information in the mid-tones. In my view the photograph now more pleases the eye.
Just my considered opinion.
Note that in a smaller size on the monitor, the change barely registers.
In ending, I must mention that your photograph works on several levels. But foremost, its strong composition compels the eye. I could comment on this aspect, too, if you wish.
I say keep up the good work.

Feel free to comment further, if you wish. 'Tree on Plain,' however, will not fly. Tree on plain is Object, not Subject.

Never stand when you can sit; never sit when you can lay down, Mike. Hoping the grasshoppers won't be as plentiful in my yard this summer....
