Nice video. I think people forget about texture contrasts a lot both when they are taking the photo but also when editing the photo in post-processing. Good reminder, and definitely an element to keep in mind for getting the maximum beauty out of your shots.
I really appreciate the comments, and actually I did consider some of those ideas somewhat, but kind of stopped short. however, the next time I am at the Wedge where that lone tree is I am going to use your comments to get some different shots. Thanks again!!
