Dramatic creepy sky again. I loved both the versions, and your thoughts behind this image seems to make a lot of sense wrt the trees.

This is better to me than your other image. I love to provide some more space around.

Love the cloud pattern and yes army of trees. Bit too dark for my taste, you may experiment opening it up a bit more. Thanks for sharing Adithya..

This is much better in terms of the balance Adithya.Nicely seen image. Does it stand a slight CW rotation? a very nice piece nevertheless... Thanks for sharing...

Yes, I too loved this version. I posted that version to share my thought process behind making this image.
I went for tighter crop to emphasise trees.
My monitor is not properly calibrated. So I can't exactly comment on brightness.

A simpler versi0n is here here. Nothing special in this image. Just shows the trees.
I was trying to tell the story through images and made many attempts. But most of them are failed.
Would love to know how others thought process while presenting the stories in their images.
