Found this old cottonwood along the edge of the desert as a storm moved in. Loved the stark silhouette and the moodiness in the clouds.

Nice Idea and processing. But this is the sort of shot that just cries from the ability to shift instead of pointing the camera up. A view camera or TS lens would make it feel so much more natural.

I don't recall really pointing the camera up much, but you're right a TS lens or camera with movements would get things really straight. I used an 18mm lens and that probably distorted things a bit. Used to have a 24mm TS lens that I sold—bummer, would have been perfect for this shot!

Beautiful shot, Scott. Positioning the tree with the light clouds behind really sets it off nicely. I don't get any sense of WA distortion when viewing this.

I appreciate it, thank you Brent! I guess at the time I framed that subconsciously but I agree it helps create a nice frame and adds to the drama and contrast.
