 Here goes with my 3rd challenge entry...

I think this tree really does look like it is 'climbing the sky' to get to the sunlight beyond the clouds. I took several pictures of this wisened old tree and chose this one because I really liked the moody sky. The tree is almost horizontal really - I took the picture at an angle to give it some impact.

I hope you enjoy my photograph!

Looks like a place of retreat. You held the cloud detail. Nice.

Love the way the tree looks as if it is reaching out to the sky a really great shot. Very well done.

I wish the ground in front of the tree were completely blacked out. Otherwise this is stunningly beautiful. Great work. 9

Nice composition - would have been great on a day were there was more color in the sky. As it stands, the pictures a little gray for me. I like the composition though - would be fun to see the same comp on different days with different skies.

The silhouette of the trees and tiny shrubs work out very well in this composition. You took this photo in a great moment to capture the blending strattus and cumulus clouds.

Lovely. We call that buttermilk sky - awesome with the single tree silhouette. VERY pretty.
