A church located in Cocoa, Florida with many beautiful old, oak trees on the grounds.
I see a face in the tree to the right of the cross with arms, sort of, but I may have too wild of imagination. :)
I just really liked the image even though it has technical problems. The cross was in shadow and I had to try many things in Photoshop to bring it out. Maybe it looks weird.
Lately my photos haven't been DPC worthy, so I won't bother with editing steps on this one. I did a lot of experimenting anyway and I am sure many will see my lack of skill.

wow, I just loved the experience of slowly figuring out what is in this picture. It felt as though he materialized from branches of the tree. It was quite a spiritual experience, actually. 9
Good idea, and that tree on the right sure would have worked for Personification. It would have been nice to see the cross in direct light and trees in shadows.
WOW. Nice crisp photo. This may be too dark for some but I seem to love the darker images. Seems very peaceful. The first thing I noticed was the face in tree to the right top looking back at Jesus on the cross. I then looked closer and noticed other faces. To the bottom left it looks like the trunk has big eyes and its mouth is open. Seems to be speaking to the back of cross. The trunk to the farthest bottom left seems to have its eyes closed but mouth open. This seems to add a lot of character. I hope more voters will take time to really look at your photo to see all the wonderful characteristics. I really love the warm green and brown colors.
