A good looking image posted here into the competition! Your fine and classical composition suggests to me that steam is hissing out of a tree trunk?! Exposure and sharpness are fine. Well done and good luck!

Actually Nik it was light shining on smokey, steamy haze in line with a large dead trunk. Three years ago the 150 year old giant white oak (Quercus alba) collapsed in the Royal Botanic Gardens Victoria

Cool!
Someone ( or someThing ) is looking for a way out!
( Or a way IN! )
Either way-this is an unusual and interesting presentation and I'm enjoying it a lot!

Thanks Sean...Three years ago the 150 year old giant white oak (Quercus alba) collapsed in the Royal Botanic Gardens Victoria. The dead trunk has been left as a symbol of this majestic tree
