Oh Solo Treeo: The Dark Fairytale Edition

This weekend I found a new lone tree (with the help of my wonderful and handsome hubby) and a possible subject for another 4 seasons shot. I like that this one is on water.

The day wasn't particularly gorgeous so I had some editing fun with the shot.

Ok, I've decided that I am not failing. I'm persevering. And that is a good thing.
It's a winner!!! Love the reflection and tones!!

Great find! This definitely could do a 4 season.
Glad you're staying afloat.

Loved your seasons of a tree series. Looking forward to another one.

So glad that you are persevering.

@traceyhn Thanks so much, Tracey. I love the way trees look in all seasons. Hope that this one has some good changes (flowers in spring and color in fall). I'm thinking it won't, but, hoping for the best:)!

@nadaa Thanks so much, sweet lady!

@helixconcepts Thank you, Laura. Really appreciate that!

@kwind I loved it with the processing. Can't wait to see it in the snow. Thanks, friend!
