Shot this out on a country road, it turned out a little better than I expected, maybe it will do the same in the challenge!
The title may get some negative comments, but when I look at this, it makes me think of a farm house, with an old tree that been there for many generations.

I am new here and relatively so to serious photography; so, I will offer only my response, not a critique.
I like the mood of this picture a great deal. The straggly tree works with the wire fence in front and the whole is well balances, especially in tonal qualities working with the image effectively.
Really interesting tree. I think a polarizer (if you weren't already using one) could have made the clouds pop and give the eerieness of the bare tree a more foreboding quality (from the other side of the fence might have also made the tree a standout!
