I was hanging out at my parents' house the other day playing with the new 10-22. I figured it would look cool to shoot straight up the trunk of this tree in their backyard. I was right! Well, at least I think it looks cool.
This is a total shoehorn entry, by the way. Although, this challenge is probably pretty easy to shoehorn into and have it vaguely meet the challenge.
That tree makes me feel old. I remember when I was a kid and we planted it!

I think this is pretty good, but I also see it as a compromise by losing color to gain contrast. I only mention this because I tried a very similar idea and couldn't get it to where I thought it would work......and I have the 4.5 to prove it! LOL!!! 5
