Taken at Creve Coeur Park before work (as usual). It was about 7:30 in the morning so the light was low and the auto-flash fired. I've been wanting to use this tree for a while now. I love how it clings to the side of the cliff. I hope everyone else likes it too, but I'm sure to get a bunch of those "boring" or "not original" comments, especially since the wood is raw rather than processed.

Kinda cool - but would have liked to see more of the tree as a whole as you mentioned it is sitting on the edge of a cliff - would have added interest to it. The flash really hurts this image, as the artificial light really blows out the highlights of the wood.
This might really have some punch in black and white. There isn't alot of contrast as it is and no real focal point. I like the idea of the moss - maybe do a macro with lots of detail and perhaps one of the leaves peeking into the shot. I hope you find this helpful.
could have work with a little more work on photoshop or camera setting. It just feel like a snapshot and maybe a little curve work or bright/contrast work would have made this better.
