 The same tree as in my previous challenge photo, only about 20 minutes later )). In fact it was an outtake from that challenge. Ken is right, I'm milking it, but I thought that the two photos were sufficiently different, so why not enter them both?


Yay, my first ever blue ribbon in a Free Study, after almost 22 years of trying! Thank you!!

You give yourself such wonderful opportunities in your travel to take such magnificent photography. There is nothing wrong with seeing beauty in the same subject from different angles at different times. Isn’t that what nature is truly about!

The sun and the tree are so strong element that my first thought was how it would look like cutting 60% of the top, but I like it, good work.

I like this, i want to like it more but something about the editing is holding me back, I can't quite figure out what it is. 7 nonetheless. Beautiful framing.
