it was a rainy day- we were driving to a friend's house when we noticed something of a ruckus down the road.. we pulled over and got out - a gruesome site- the twisted remains of what used to be a car- debris on the road.. and a tree (not much more than 10 inches in diameter) - unscathed beyond an area of bark missing.. i took a lot of pictures and decided on this one for the contest. i went with the grain - it seems like something you'd see on an anti-smoking anti-drugs poster.. something of a harsh look to it.. i decided to avoid color... again.

The contrast is too strong IMHO, spoils what could have been a good shot. Also I'm not quite sure about your title? Trees are mostly harmless, but then again how often does prpaganda tell the truth?
Over contrast and sharpened. I'm sure you were going for the newspaper feel, but I feel it's distracting. Overall concept and composition do not grab me. 5 -danny
