This photo was taken at an abandoned farmstead on a very beautiful autumn afternoon.
Extreme hot and cold temperatures, low rainfall, and high winds seem to take their toll on the few deciduous trees that exist here on the high plains of Kansas.
Post-processing in PS: shadows/highlights, adjustment layers in curves, hue/saturation, brightness/contrast, cloned out a faint jet trail in the sky, dodge/burn, Gaussian blur, reduce file size, add border, save for web.
