Dancing Tree

Best on black. We went on a hike to Enchanted Valley yesterday and way across a big meadow I saw this tree shape and found it enthralling. I'm posting both B and W as well as colored versions since I like them both. I showed them to Jim and he gave me a "ho hum" look. But for some reason they really speak to me. Hope you enjoy them.
Only about another hour before theoretically my copying of my photos onto new hard drive will be done. I am praying that there won't be a glitch getting it back connected with Lightroom. So glad you liked my foggy trees from yesterday. Thanks for your visits, comments, suggestions, favs

I prefer this version as the shades are quite extraordinary!

[Sue Rose]

What a great tree. Nicely captured.

Both versions are interesting but, even thought the b&w has more contrasts, I think I like this one better because it seems to have more of a 3D feeling and that really makes it seem that the tree is moving against it's background. It's so odd that it has so much white! :)

That white really makes it pop. Is it some kind of lichen?

[Jane Pittenger]

@robz @shutterbug49 yes, lichen

Think I like the color version the best. Great capture.

[Marnie]

I like both versions, but I prefer the colour version much to my surprise.

I love this one as there is so much more to see, the different tones and textures are more visible.

I love this one most of all. You can see all the lovely moss and the contrasts with the other trees. I can see why you were drawn to this tree. Magical.
