interseting shot. I would have cropped a fair chunk from the top of the image as the trees take your attention away from the sculpture which is intended to be the main subject
This is a photographic representation of something that has an abstract appearance. The photo itself is not abstract. Way off the mark in terms of meeting the challenge. As a photo, on it's own merits, its pretty boring other than as a factual recording of an interesting stump.
Looks like the former Old man in the Mountain from New Hampshire. This is a great picture. A slight bit more color saturation and it would have been a 10, as is it is "only" a 9. Very well done, and I hope the international audience appreciates it for you.
