First entry. I liked the black and white conversion of the original image which I thought made the texture of the tree truck stand out.

Not much done to the image in post production apart for some exposure changes to enhance the textures and then a crop to fill the frame

The texture of the stump is interesting. I like how I can see the specific marks from the chainsaw, and the burned top. Having said that, I'm not too clear on why you cut the stump up as you did. I would prefer otherwise, myself. The black on the foreground is more rich, but I don't think that's a reason to cut off the less rich black in the background.

Now this is an interesting find. However your title is disconnected for me because it does not tell me tree, but perhaps tar something. One may argue that you can see the tree on the bottom there, but one may also argue it does not really look like a tree most of us are used to seeing, nor can we see rings on the top which most of us would associate with a cut open tree. The narrow focal plane also leaves me something to be desired as well as the clarity of image.
