No need to avert your eyes.

Roughly three hours after the start of an early autumn frosty morning this tree was revealing it all for anyone to see. Good thing there were no children present or there might have been an outrage.

Decided to do a last minute second cropping of the photo before uploading. So if your wondering where the rest of the foreground and right side went to, now you know. Even if you weren't wondering you still know. Left the sky alone but really messed with the lighting and shadows in the foreground area.

Enjoy and your comments welcomed.

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

Is this your entry for the new contest? - Nice balance in the composition - I think the crop helped direct the viewer's eyes.

Most of the trees that misbehave, end up on the wood pile Wendell.
I like the contrasts in this shot. One of those life and death shots.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.

Great looking old skeleton tree and it is a good thing the kids weren't around, lol.

Marvelous capture and composition, what a beautiful day you had to take the shot
