Magnificant twig on the mammalian tree

I think this is an awesome shot, and feel that the fog adds to the atmosphere of the image. Great example of being ready when the "right place at the right time" came along.
I see that it got a lot of flack about being a rather out on a limb connection to the challenge.

Big surf hitting shore is always an awe inspiring scene. You did a good job of getting this shot just right. It looks like you are about 3 milliseconds from being in a full run back toward the camera.

This is a very good take on the way these trees look. The sunlight through the hole is a key feature in this too.
We have the same trees here, and call them "strangler figs". Birds drop the seeds on trees where they sometimes sprout, and eventually they kill the host tree. It gives the fig trees a great advantage over trees that have to grow from the ground up to get to the sunlight.

Shhhh!

This is beautiful in color and detail. The blurred BG works nicely for this scene too. If you rotate it a little left, then crop down to just the neck area, you will have a humorous looking set of "kiss me" lips.

That's pretty cool "Art" work there. If you turn it over and add a bunch of orange and red it would be much like a bowl of your favorite pastime, burning things. Nice job!

This is a very strange looking image, thanks to your excellent processing skills. It seems totally different from your normal "full of life" SP's.
Spooky, but very good.

I am looking at this and trying to think of a POV or camera angle that would be different enough to make the subject look more interesting.
It looks like it was an overcast day, so it has very little shadow.
I connect with the shot because I lived in West Palm Beach Fl in one just about like it, same color, same interior layout, for about 6 years during my 20's. I was single, working construction 5 days a week and playing music 3 nights a week during that time Ahhh, Happy memories. : )

The photo and the title are a perfect match for the challenge.
The photo itself is quite unique. It's a thought provoking shot, which for me, is what photography is really all about. Thumbs up!
