I have always seen this tree on the hill near a roundabout and thought to myself "I'll shoot that one day".. well I guess this is the day.. I go there and the sky was not playing ball with me, all grey and crappy, by the time I had parked the car and walked to the spot (30 mins) the sky had performed a little natural photoshop for me, although not perfect it is way better than at first so here it is. Might not do very well as it is not eye-catching

On the contrary, I think it's very eye-catching ;-) The simplicity and the muted colours make it one of the best in this challenge for me. Good one, MAK. Congrats on top 10.
This is a nice pic, the scope is grand and I love the colors. I don't feel that the tree itself is symmetrical enough to really pop with center positioning, I would prefer it off to a side.
Only he remained. His companions had been removed years ago, killed brutally by men with axes and saws...but somehow, inexplicably, only he was left, on his hill, to watch over what had once been their domain...it was a lonely life, that of a single tree...
my son says that this should have a thousand points on the scale of 1 thru 10. so I had better give you a 10. Love the negative space, the setting is gorgeous, sharp and clean shot. well done
