 This was virtually black and white anyway but I applied a b&w layer and brightened the land a little but left the sun with the slight yellow.

The clumps are Mistletoe. It is a parasitic plant and therefore just lives in other trees.

I like to think the "invaders" in the title is represented by that speck of bird in the top right - it always starts with just the one...

I'm sure you could wrap a sci-fi story around these invaders. This shot, which shows them up so clearly, is a good illustration of the lifestyle of mistletoe. We have it here too, where it invades the eucalypts and mimics them in appearance. It eventually weakens and kills the host trees.

Good sense of contrast against the bright sky. Those dark masses in the branches are a little puzzling.. did you put them in or were they already there?
