This is my tree. I have photographed it many times.

Nice tree, nice quote, nice photo. Congratulations, Richard. This is almost Oriental in the shape of the tree and in the overall composition, isn't it?
This is very well photographed and I suspect many will vote this into a front page finish. My only criticism (very minor at that) is that the tree could benefit from some selective sharpening. It looks to me to be equally sharp with the background, something that I doubt was true when you were on site. Still, I think this photo is a strong contender. 7
