I like the branches on this dead tree. So do the birds. There is always at least one bird on it.
Thanks to Bear_Music for the processing lesson. We worked on another image, but I applied what I learned to this one.
Nice surprise in the mail 10/31/09 -- this shot was chosen as the third place winner for landscapes in the Florida Wildlife Federation annual photo contest.

This very much reminds me of Bear's marshes - now I know why! Lovely work with the processing, but a very gorgeous shot to begin with as well. I really like how the tree, even though no longer living, still serves a very useful purpose, and I like the warmth of this - a picture of a dead tree but full of life!
