The Exception

I found myself totally absorbed with the deciduous tree framed by and in the middle of a forest of ponderosa pines. Something about its simultaneous graceful and spooky shape pleased me.
Thanks for your visits, comments, suggestions, favs

So well spotted and your processing is perfect. I have to go back to my trees and see if I have anything along this line. I loved the tree but can't remember how I went about framing it. Inspiring!

Excellent image, composition

[Marnie]

I can well see why you were so taken with this juxtaposition Jane. The presence of that 'intruder' significantly adds to the visual impact of the upright, snow-covered pines.

The odd man out - not the biggest, not the most prominent, not even in the middle - but definitely the focus of the image. So clever. :)
