f22
The sun is directly behind the trunk of the tree in the middle. I reduced my aperture as much as I could to get the most detail but still wasn't able to get as much as detail as I wanted (probably due to the bright light) Any thoughts or suggestions on how I could get more detail in the trees???

I like the silhoettes of teh trees and the angle you are shooting, you captured the height of the trees. If you wanted the trees to have more detail you could have had the sun at your back so you had more direct light on the trees. That's my guess to how you could get more detail.
I agree. I've noticed anytime I shoot directly in the sunlight, my images are darkened from the backlight. I think it's a great image though- sometimes seeing less detail is more.
Thats the same problem I had with my sunrise pic... I don't know how to fix it?? But I think it is a great pic and I like it.
Use a neutral density filter. It will cut down even more on the light coming in. Also, did you take this handheld? I wonder if camera shake was an issue, as shooting with a small aperture on auto will make for a longer shutter speed and it's hard to be still at those longer speeds.
By more detail do you mean more exposure on the trees? To get the trees to not look like silhouettes you would need to over expose the picture. So if the meter in the camera was telling you to shoot it at f-22 at 1/200th of a second, then either change the f-stop to f-16 or f-11 and leave the shutter at 1/200th...or if you went the depth of field to stay at f-22 then change the shutter speed to a slower speed. You will end up seeing more "detail" in the trees but you will get a blown out sky. Both are interesting effects...you just have to decide what you want. I like what you ended up with.
