Scorched

A past wildfire charred the scrub trees and brush near the dunes, leaving an eerie, lonely landscape. This is one of the blackened remains.

[Paul "Snapchap" Everest]

Wow! That is spartan and very effective. I like the pale sepia tint to your shot.

[Kevin McKay]

Geepers, this is great. I'm very attracted to the strong lines and the symmetry. Also your processing has really worked well.

Paul is right, very Spartan but highly effective. I love the composition and that sun glare on the other side provides such a great contrast.

[Linda]

Very stark and dramatic. Great job Lisa

[Matheus Jose Maria]

Beautiful photo.
It reminded me of the northeastern hinterland.
It is a region of Brazil plagued by heat and drought, where people live constantly in an extreme situation.
The weather was not enough, there is still the neglect of the Brazilian government.

[Ross Walker]

It looks like a giant thorn without another object as a size reference. Intriguing.

[The Mysterious Mr Biscuit]

The brighter area/light bottom left really takes this above and beyond. Kind of "reminds" me of the fire that caused it, if you see what I mean.

[Yvonne]

Such a dramatic shot, Lisa. You have such a great eye.

[megan]

very sculptural....lighting and composition perfect for this.

Wow, quite a statement. My daughter was out west fighting those fires. She was in Idaho also. (I showed her your picture, asked her if the tree looked familiar. She rolled her eyes)

[Jo]

Great minimalist shot.

[Molly]

An artistic shot - you have a real talent for seeing the potential in simple things.

[Catherine Pace]

spartan the word - reptilian also - wonderful reaching upward

[Taffy]

Awesome shot in its simplicity and in the sepia tones to the backdrop. The title really works as well.

[Humphrey Hippo]

Makes a fab abstract - like a crack in the sky.

[Mark Prince]

Fabulous shot, great colours and POV.
