Challenge: Trees (Minimal Editing I)
Camera: Canon EOS-30D
Lens: Canon EF-S 17-85mm f/4-5.6 IS USM
Location: Woodley Park Model Aircraft Field, Encino, CA
Date: Feb 17, 2007
Aperture: f/5.6
ISO: 400
Shutter: 1/5000 sec
Galleries: Nature, Black and White

 This tree captured my attention as soon as we came to the park that day. It just seemed to me that it had survived the loss of one of its limbs, and is still growing strong.

Since this was a minimal editing challenge, I didn't do much. I converted to greyscale, resized, then hit save. :)

I hope you enjoy my first entry, and I welcome any critiques, suggestions, etc.

I like the perspective with the dark trees in the background. Object in right front corner is a bit distracting.
