Nothing says country like a red barn, blue sky, massive Oak tree and livestock grazing in the pasture. Well, three out of four ain't bad. This is another from my trip to Mark Twain Lake. You can see more starting here.
I circled this tree like a buzzard with a broken wing trying to get the right angle. Some of the obstacles included: A busy roadway, glaring sun, no trespassing signs, precarious parking and an impatient wife. Or was it a glaring wife and impatient sun. I'm kinda confused about the whole thing now. I guess I will revert to this quote by Mark Twain. "Get your facts first, and then you can distort them as much as you please.".

You got the red barn, the blue sky and the tree. A great combination to make a pretty nature image which is what this is, Tick.

Smooth seas do not make skilful sailors.
I think you hit upon one of the best perspectives to show how huge that tree is. Content-aware fill will get rid of obstacles you don't want in the shot, but finding one without obstacles to start is probably best. Nicely done.

Well you found the right angle!...lol...I have to admit I got a chuckle out of this Mark Twain quote. He was smart :-)

I knew you had run into a number of obstacles before I read the narrative, TicK. It's not like you to chop off the top of the tree and have the crop so tight at the bottom. I know how difficult an impatient wife can be. I sometimes stand in the women's intimates department at the department store for an hour while she tries on various unmentionables. But when it comes to my "art", it's another story. Congratulations on doing a complete 360° circle. I think my best would have been 269°48'36". Anyway, the shot paid off. It's a beauty. Next time take three steps back and hope that the traffic stops. :-)

I may be schizophrenic, but at least I have each other.
Amazing how much of an obstacle civilization can be to a pure country shot. Turned out really well. Faved.

I would travel only by horse, if I had the choice. ~ Linda McCartney ~
I'd say you done good dealing with the glaring, impatient wife. A great looking bit of the country. Good composition of the scene and a lovely glow in the lighting and colours. Very nicely done.

Criticism, like rain, should be gentle enough to nourish a man's growth without destroying his roots. — Frank A. Clark
I like this one!!
Yer thinking like a photographer now mate...Purfick angle for this..good composition..has the required 'R of T' (Rule of 3rds) I especially like that the you got the sun coming from behind you and falling on the tree branches!...

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB
I think you got it just right you ole buzzard :)
Composition is great and the light on the tree makes it really stand out beautifully.

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust
Outstanding shot Tick!! It does speak to this old country boys heart.
