Bored ATF
Just looking out my window, saw "some" artistic possibility of the top of a dead tree here on this cold windy day in Boston.

You can do better.

A little boring, but it's got a nice moody quality to it. I think it would be better if the sky weren't so blank, but I could be wrong.

Some company showed up. What do you all think?

I liked it without the treetops at the bottom, they're too busy for this picture. But the first one was too tightly cropped. Try lowering your physical position and increasing the angle toward the tree to give more space.

Generally I do like both these shots. The first one isn't boring to me, but it feels too constricted as-is.

i would like it better if you could zoom in and focus on fewer of the branches against the bleak looking sky. i don't like the rightmost cluster of branches, pretty mught the rightmost 1/3 of the tree in shot 1.

Last Flag Pic.

If you look at the previous photo (Portrait one)
You'll notice a hawk soaring above.

Question/Comments are welcomed. Thanks :)

you gotta do something with the building in this one. it's such a prominent part of the photo and yet it's so monotone. shop it up some color or some contrast or something. it's very offensive to the eye while it's so nondescriptive.
the flag is framed by the sky, the trees, and the building, but the building has no definition while the other two have loads.
