..the mind is an amazing thing, it makes you see things that aren’t really there.. what did you think of after looking at this tree?

terrific contrast, very interesting

The range of grays in the sky behind is also superb !

l’essence de l’arbre! trÃ¨s beau

Very cool looking tree ! Beautiful mono !

A wonderful work, Rian, they must hang on the wall quite large.

A strong, simple element that makes an effective picture. Nicely done.

That wonderful old tree hangs on to life, and you did a great job with the image. What do I think of after looking at it? A cartoon duck comes to mind, and so does a seahorse.

Stubborn tree it wont die! Very cool to see.

terrific find. love how just the top seems to be growing.

At first look the top of the tree is quite surprising. But thinking about it, it’s the normal thing for a tree to grow to catch the light. But what you caught, Rian, is quite extraordinary.

Such a cool shot of this old tree, as to what do I see after looking at it, well looking at anything wont change what I see or m thinking of our NEw granddaughter just delivered less than half an hour ago 🙂

Simple and nice! love the irregular shape of this old tree!

Very moody starkness. I like it. (greyscale was a great choice for this)

not sure what i’m supposed to see. but the pine needles at the top make me think of birds and feathers for some reason. i too like the starkness.

i guess life hasn’t been easy for this poor pine tree.
and look… no birds want to make nests in its branches neither.
it’s a little sad.
but don’t feed the tree, because it will follow you home
and then what will you do?

LOL at Seraphine! I see strength and detmination in this tree against all odds. It would have been an inspiration to me a year ago while I was going through major life changes.
