An old walnut tree out at my dads farm. Just in front is an old well that has been slowly filled up with rubbish over the years.

I was facing almost directly into the sun trying to get a shot that i liked without getting zapped by the electric fence that was right in front of me.

I was also surprised at the strange result i got with the sky. Very weird gradient without having any lense flare. Anyway, i liked it.

It's my first entry into the challenge and i found it so difficult to choose just one shot to go with.

Thanks for looking, reading and hopefully voting!!

Cool looking tree. I see a real strong green colour cast in the sky ... what might that be from?

The tree and well give this shot an almost creepy feel. Very neat!

More tree than branch and maybe shot at the wrong time of day? A softer evening or early morning light would improve the image IMO

Nice Shot

crop could have been better. i think more saturation/other dealings with colors would have helped this picture. very interesting tree, tho.

sky is a little washed out, tree is a little "too" busy
