Did the Barbed Wire Kill the Tree?

Anyone passing by would definitely have to wonder what on earth I was shooting - does that qualify for eotb? I think my husband thought so. Found this barbed wire running through an old tree -(which kind of looks like a saddle.) Shot with a 50mm with a GND filter applied.

Strange subject. My first impression was a roast on the spit. I can see the saddle in there too.

@tonydebont I like your interpretation best!

[Heather]

Nicely captured, love the tones and the unusual nature of the image.

[Allison Maltese]

That is most unique.

[Rick]

Cool capture. It's amazing the way the trees will grow around things like that.

[Jane Pittenger]

Great detail and color

[GaryW]

Very interesting indeed.

[Rick Schies]

I don't know but it looks like it overcame the obstacle

[Dyan Stevens]

Definitely EOTB material. Love the texture.

[Cathie]

Very interesting image, Milanie!

[Taffy]

Even looks like blood dripping onto the wire. Very effective shot.

[Denise (lyndemc)]

You pose a good question about the wire. I like all the browns in this picture.

[Lynda McG]

Well spotted!

[Harbie]

So interesting!

[Linda Godwin]

Looks like the tree ate the fence

[Issi Bannerman]

I thought it was roast meat on a spit! Very interesting capture.

[Serge Ducasrouge]

Interessing and intrigante shot. Just a technic question : why a GND filter instead a ISO 100-200 ? Just to improve my technic.

[Sheila]

The joy of photography, capturing the unusual.

[Milanie]

@ducasrouge Mainly because I was fooling around in post processing and wanted to darken part of it a little - nothing technical - more a whim.
