C&C for my B&W shot of California's famous Lone Cypress?

A little too much empty space image right, and too little detail on the tree itself (the foliage is basically one dark, featureless mass). I think ideally, this should have been a much wider shot, or a much narrower shot.

If it was wider then wouldn't there be even more empty space in relation to the tree?

Yes, but do you think it would it communicate something much different than it does now?
