Outstanding presentation.
Impressive capture!
An interesting initial impact.
The thorns are palpable!
Aesthetic vantage point.
Every inch a winner! Nice inclusion of the blue sky.
Good perspective & long depth of field... Thanks for sharing...

Very interesting tree and story too! It's well captured to show the detail and texture , it looks like sharp spikes , natural colors and tones, good exposure, I like that I can see some of its leaves and branches and the blue sky background showcases it perfectly .

    Thank you so very much for your lovely review. So the question is do you want to climb this tree first? Or do you l ???? Sure wish you could see this magnificent giant in person. All I can say is God sure had a sense of humor when he created trees. Blessings always in thank you again so very much for taking time to review my work. :-)

That definitely says "Stay away". That is some wicked looking tree bark. Amazing the diversity of nature, including the bark of trees. Great entry for the contest. Best of luck ~ Steve

    Thank you for your lovely review. It truly was majestic to look at. The limbs were out stretched forever. This photo does not give the picture just us. I captured this in late December. I want to go back to the place which is about 75 miles from where I live and capture the whole tree in the bright sunshine. Maybe one day. Thank you for taking time to review and blessings to you always.
