Well, I must have driven and walked around for 6 hours to find a stupid tree that would work. The main problem was finding a suitable backdrop.
I was just about to give up, when I came upon this. I precariously pulled over to the side of the road on a hill and before a blind curve and shot out of the window, rolled forward a bit and shot again.
So just for sake of effort, I hope this does well. I processed it in color and it just wasn't right.
In the background are the Squaw Peak Mountains. There's an agave at the bottom of the photo - I hope I don't get slammed because it's *gasp* centered.
This was converted with Silver Efex - increase in structure and contrast, heavy on the red filter.

lol this "stupid tree" works hehe. I gave it a 7. I really do love the sky and clouds. Also that you captured the shadows from the clouds too. Beautiful!
