Tree in Front of an Angry Sky

[svantland]

After my last image, I have been working the selective exposure alot more. I am getting more comfortable with burning and dodging, but I would like feedback on how the effect I am striving for is being received. What was particularly challenging is dealing with the tree, and the bits of sky that come through it. Let loose, and tell me how you think my application of these techniques is working. The feedback I have been getting through this forum is amazing. Thank you so very much.
