Naked tree

Started to post this in color but then I remember @vignoise posted in BW so paying tribute to my mentor.

[Richard Sayer]

Nicely done Joan - you've got the tonal range spot-on which is not easy when there's snow. I'd have been tempted to lose the post to the left of the tree though - it keeps capturing my gaze :-(

[Joan Robillard]

@vignouse There was an orange cone that I was getting rid of and I guess it distracted me.

[Richard Sayer]

@joansmor It's not too late...
