The lines of the tree and clouds really emphasize the wide angle view of this shot. They all seem to draw you into the central point (the trunk of the tree).

I like how everything converges into one point...unusual in nature. You got the tree slanted inward and the clouds pointing to the base of the tree.

Stunning shot. I love that kind of effect from really wide-angle lens.

Good job of capturing this unique moment in nature. This has the same feel as the sun with rays streaming outward, only much more interesting!

Wow - love the clouds here. What a great perspective, especially with the tree leaning opposite the direction of the cloud to the right, and the cloud above it fitting it like a glove. I love the symmetry; to me, it makes the shot. Now who did you tell me the other night is not very creative?
