This Lone Cypress Tree is around 250 years old and represents the Pebble Beach Company, owner of Pebble Beach golf courses and many properties in this wealthy region of the Monterey Bay. The shape of this famous tree has traveled the miles in logo products purchased by people from around the globe who come to visit, stay at the Pebble Beach resorts properties. It is the trademark for the resort and actually exists, perched on a rock with a supporting cable to keep it from falling.

Can't really see the HDR but that's okay. The tree isn't the subject of the photo but that can be okay sometimes as well. It's a bit bright for my taste but composition covers for all of that. Good job, lighting is a bit flat. 5/10
A scene that is made for this treatment. Personally, I like to turn down the yellow a little on the foliage, so it appears more green, but that's a personal preference thing.
