I didn't get to vote in this challenge. But looking over the entries I am very impressed by this shot. I am adding it to my favorites. I just love the effect of the light and the shape of that tree.

Nice photo, with more contrast using curves, levels or even the burning tool in PS this photo could be outstanding.

Why the lack of contrast? This is a good picture but the contrast is really bland. Could be a magnificent picture
