Tree with character

I came across this tree and liked the shape and character of it. The sun behind shows off it's shape, but made it a challenge to shoot. This is and HDR in order to get the foreground to be visible. First attempt, turned out as I wanted.

trees are amazing how they adapt to some trauma that happens at some point, and later we wonder how this came to be

Neat: to get what you want on the first attempt! And such a glorious shot.

@koalagardens You're so right! Nature is resilient, as you know so well. Thanks for the visit.
@monikozi Thanks Monique, computers are amazing! Even more amazing I can make them do what I want!
@wakelys Thanks, sometimes it's hard to break one subject out from the mess of all the growth.
