Simple and elegant, love the b & w, high key is really effective here to draw attention to the detail and structure of the branches!
Ryan Jones replied
thank you Joanne for your specific comments. It’s nice to know what exactly works – very helpful for future shots.

Love how you’ve treated and composed this, the long branch adds even more interest to what would already be a great image. Reminds me of a Japanese woodblock painting the name of which eludes me; I can picture it on a card or a wall with red calligraphy.
Ryan Jones replied
Thank you Akira. That’s a great idea. I can visualize what you are saying. Do you know how to do calligraphy, even if in digital form? If so, would you like to collaborate? I would love for you to place some calligraphy on the image.
