Always very Ben work when it pops up. Great stuff. I'm wondering if you could have used some movements in the first image to straighten out the back wall? 2nd is baller. Simple and effective. Fun!

You are very observant Aaron, and very good question! When I go backpacking, I take a super lightweight normal lens (Fuji 300C). It covers 8x10 with enough room for some decent movements, but the lens is tiny, and I felt I probably should avoid using any extreme movements. I'm still new with this lens, and thought I might be taking a risk by putting the front rise to the test.
After sharing the photo and mentioning that I was reluctant to use front rise, someone chimed in and said that the Fuji 300C is great in the middle, but as you move away from the center of the image circle, it really falls apart, and that not using front rise was a good move. If I was using my Nikon 300 lens, I could have maxed out the rise and be sharp all the way through.
That being said, in this case I think the perspective helps put some more attention on the tree and makes it feel bigger than it is. Also, I don't think I could have totally straightened those lines anyway since I had to look upward a lot.
