A couple days ago, I had a few minutes to kill after lunch so the Insurance
agent's office would be open on my way past, and I played with my camera at our
local covered bridge. One picture that I attempted was of a tree against the
sky. I tried processing it a couple of ways to bring the tree out against the
sky.
I'm not sure whether it works or not, and if not, what to do to fix it.
Suggestions?

My vote goes to the color shot. I'm not sure what I'd do to improve it
any. My instinct is to deepen the shadows and /maybe/ nudge the contrast
up a bit on shots of this nature to bring it out a little more against
the blue sky, but that's my own aesthetic quirk/crutch.
I do like the look of that gnarled limb, right about the center of the
scene. If I were to do anything compositionally, I'd maybe lop it off
right at the elbow of the L-shaped limb near the left edge of the image,
but that seems like it may actually bullseye the most interesting
element of the scene (gnarled limb).
I'm sure you found all that immensely helpful, of course.
