This simple composition was made with a small FF mirrorless camera, 21mm lens, and travel tripod during a short hike.

I didn't have any ND filters with me, and so ended up having to shoot this in the bright midday light at f/8. That yields too much DoF to allow focus to separate the tree from the background. But fortunately there was just enough haze to reduce the contrast of the distant hills a bit, yielding a high contrast subject with a lower contrast background. So it worked out.
