Visual: This image seems to be 3D due to the dimensions of the image and the position of the camera as the tree trunk is closer to us than the tree branches and leaves. The eye is drawn from the tree bark all the way up to its branches and leaves. Although there is a lot of negative space due to the sky, I actually quite like it due to the texture of the clouds and the contrast as the the clouds have quite a high sensitivity compared to the rest of the image.

Conceptual: I think that the main idea behind this image is again the power and graciousness of the tree and nature in general. Due to the cameras angle it looks like we have to look up to the tree which shows that we should respect nature and treat it well.

Technical: The lighting used in this image is natural lighting, this is shown due to the different coloring of the clouds. Here is the image was taken from a low angle close to the ground however the camera was pointing up towards the tree, this makes the tree look large powerful and intense, showing the power of nature and how it is stronger than humans. Tonal range is clearly shown here through the under exposure and the sharp contrasts of the highlights in the clouds and the shadows in the trees and leaves giving the tree a menacing look. Here the focal point seems to be on the tree, especially the tree bark as that is the sharpest point of the image. There is a low ISO which is shown through the sharpness of the image and the fine grain. Due to the Black and white filter, the colours are only present in the form of black, white and grey this adds to the tonal range as the contrast between these colours are more evident.
