Perfect. I usually don't like well-centered objects on a picture but this one works to set the mood that you wanted to capture. The grandness of the desert is very well shot and your title is very fitting. If you play around with the levels (autolevel on Photoshop for example) and then sharpen, you might even be able to bring the tree forward enhancing its utter loneliness. The sky is just awesome.

A really nice shot! I like the effect when the leafs of the tree has been lightened in contrast with the quite dark clouds above. The almost desaturated desert and the deep blue sky creates a really eerie feeling. I agree with flip89 that this is a great example of a centered object that still captures the viewers eye. Well done!

I can only say that I agree with the earlier comments... an amazing sky... the composition is effective, because it breaks the rules... a great shot.

Magic and united sky with the tree. I find your very beautiful composition and all the colours gives a very strong impact to your image. Great shot!

Very dramatic shot! Great composition. I like the placement of the tree in the middle, and just the right amount of land and sky. Great colors and great sky. Well done!

I think you have a knack at capturing incredible sky formations. The composition here, even with the main subject centered, works very well. Even with the Velvia film the colors seem to be slightly less saturated which fits nicely into the desert theme. Well done!

Centered works well here and gives the tree a special importance.

A 2-D pictures that gives a 3-D impression. The tree really stands out from the picture due to the blue sky as its backdrop. The touch-up is also nicely done and this is something I should learn from. Thanks for sharing and yes, it reminds me of U2's song from the album 'The Joshua Tree' called 'One tree hill'.

My Favourite !! (^_^)

Good contrasts and colors !

Fantastic, perfect..I don't know what else I could say. The sky is so heavily...dramatic, almost physically breaking and falling down on the helpless, solitary tree. Thank you very much for sharing!

I may be just tired but somehow you seem to have captured movement in your sky. it really looks like it is moving in and around your cactus here.

great breaking of the "rules" with your composition. I love the blue cast you have in your shot this also adds a lot of intrigue to your desert shot because you have made it "cold"

well done
