Bummer- but My fault. I was going to straighten the trees with perspective efex, but I liked the way they were leaning in and framing.

Thank you. That is what we have around here. I've been digging into minimalist nature and snow shots. I have to learn on the old cameras, you have t constantly check and reset the times.

Old wood stains, your image is a beautiful find that has not been in use for awhile.

Love the toning. Somehow this image seems hopeful to me. I wish the title were a little more creative, but it works.
