Interesting gulley erosion there. Bespeaks of a heavy rainfall at times. The tree is a little owerawed by the greater picture.

One Tree hill!

Interesting zoom effect. I wonder if it might have worked better with the central focus on the tree itself?

That's a peaceful location. Nourishing a grand oak tree would indeed be my last wish.

Wonderful trees supportive of so much in the way of insect life. Your photo caputres the oak-ness of this oak.

Cocos Nucifera Hooteri

No trees excluded and since you made this one so outrageously bright, I think it works well even if it is plastic and metal.

I like this intimate view of the tree and bit of grass. The path leading into the distance is nicely suggestive. 8.

Lone tree at last light
by BrennanOB

Comment:
Lovely orange. Anatomical hills. Perfect tree. If I was you, I would be out there a lot of times capturing this scene in all sorts of light and weather. It's a commercial image. But I think that in this case, a closer view would have been better. Crop the bottom fifth and then use the lower right hand quarter. I'd even buy a longer lens to capture this scene... ;-)

A lone Rubber Tree grows on a giant Fig Tree

Trees sometimes have that habit - they grow where one least expects them to. Usually, it is the Strangler Fig vine which parasitizes the tree - but you have capture something which is the other way about.
