"The sky's as deep as it can be / Bend down the branches / Close your eyes and you will see / Bend down the branches" (Tom Waits)
Brilliant piece of work, Otto. There's a solitude to it that pulls me in immediately. Great photograph! All the best & safe travels, Fritsch.

I like the tone of this image and its subtle gradations throughout. Nice work.The big tree makes a fine subject.

that sky is awesome -- i've been having issues lately with streaky skies -- it's probably because i've been using up some old verichrome (expired in 2001!) - either that or my agitation method has gone to hell...

i miss seeing lone trees like this -- city life does that...

Interesting contrast. It gives the landscape a bit of a burnt out look.
