This is a great, emotional picture...conveying very well the massiveness and antiquity of the tree. You might want to try, if the subject and terrain permit, putting the edge of your focused area at the bottom of the screen...so the focused area is in the foreground. Blurred background is a necessary thing most times, but blurred foregrounds can...sometimes...be avoided. Good pic! Hope you post more because you have a good eye.
Beautiful green bark...
The angle is gooOOOOod...
Welcome to Caedes, buddy!
