I really like this one Michael. Beautiful shot of a very cool (and voluptuous) tree shape :-). Melanie (mlynn)

Nice find and capture, Michael. I too like your color choice and the unusual subject shape/form. Nice photo. MFC

I really like this unusual curved tree. I like the choice BW, too.

Bill, thanks for the suggestion on contrast. I played with the contrast, popped it a bit, and really like the effect. I've replaced the original with the results. Again, many thanks for your suggestion. -Michael

Excellent subject Michael. I like how you opted for B&W also. I do wonder how it would look with just a bit more contrast? An excellent shot! Bill B

Michael,
Wow- love this image and the title too. Great capture with a very interesting composition. I like the B&W for this. It works well to give an earthy feel. Roberta
