I want to thank everyone for their comments and the time they took to vote. This tree is a giant sequoia and I would guess that he was a baby before a white man set foot on this continent. The old ones are older than 300 years old.

Seems to me to be too obvious of a redwood shot.. Would like to see a more creative perspective.... 4 sjgleah

Comment by Gracious:
Beautiful texture, clearly old (and massive.) What I don't like is it is too centered and the tree or pole directly next to it on my left detracts. I think I'd have shfted the camerea to the right a bit and included more of the path and people looking at the tree. The curve of the path would draw you to the people and they would draw you back to the massive Seqouia. (sp)

Something old. Use your photographic technique to emphasize the age of your subject.
Composition - good. Wish you waited for no people in back
Technical Aspects - quite good. Did you try B&W ?
Meets Challenge - yes
Visual Impact / Originality - high

This is one of my favorites this week. Yes, it is old, and yes, you can see how old it is; I like the people on the side, it gives you a perspective of how old this tree really is. 10, well done.
