If there is one thing I would do different with this picture, that would be to bring the horizon down just a tad to follow the rule of thirds. I was in a very awkward position though and didn't have many options for camera angles. I was set up on a rock out away from the shore a little bit.

Photo of the week (May 6, 2010)
Camera: Nikon D5000
Lens: 18 - 55 VR
Shutter Speed: 30 Seconds
Aperture: F5.6
ISO: 400
Focal Length: 55mm
White Balance: Shade
This photo wasn't taken this week. I reserve the privilege to go as far back in my archives as I like to find something that stirs my interest at the moment. Actually this picture is a little over a week old.
The photo you see here, is more about an idea than composition. I experimented with a flashlight and a long exposure. I used the flashlight to light the tree from the one side. The rest of the light you see is either the yard light or a town off in the distance. I hope to have time to do more of this. It opens up a whole new window of photo ideas.

Saturation turned all the way up and Contrast all the way up.
I think the most difficult part of this picture was to create some sort of a general focal point. Those dandelions that you see waving around in the sky kept catching my eye and it took me a little work to figure out how to to make them stand out from the rest. By getting down in close to them I was able to actually put them a against the blue and clouds.
I used an aperture of f22 to aid me in getting everything in focus or close to it. A fuzzy foreground and background would have ruined the picture.
