The tree does have a very interesting shape to it and the background is stunning.

Wonderful framing. When we were down in Nevada this fall we didn't get to Bryce Canyon, my loss I would say. It sure is a beautiful place.

I have seen some other pictures of that spot but I like yours because the different trees give the scale.

What a fantastic place, well-captured. It's great when you can place something foreground to give a sense of scale.

Using the tree was clearly a good choice, it adds foreground interest and leads the viewer's eye into those striking colours.

Ken McCoy from Orlando-Daytona Beach, FL, United States
Cool shot! It almost looks like some kind of primitive dinosaur scene - the color balance is very "Kodachrome ca. 1960."
