I wouldn't have detected any cloning! What a marvelous tree. With a quick glance it seemed that there were faces all around at the top looking out at the forest.
All of earth is crammed with heaven And every bush aflame with God But only those who see take off their shoes. - Elizabeth Barrett Browning<p>

A really beautiful shot! A tip on cloning, though: watch that you don't get a repetitive pattern. I'm noticing the green just to the right of the tree root.
De wijze waarop het hekwerk is wegggewerkt getuigt van vakmanschap Paul. Het resultaat is een wederom verbluffend mooie foto waar ik met heel veel plezier naar kijk. Bedankt voor zowel de inspanning als de foto. Groet, Cornelius
Well you sure did an excellent job with it because I can't tell! This one is great. I love your composition and the colors are wonderful (almost can't go wrong with Fall!). Thanks for sharing.
You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being.

I can see why you got that 88. If you hadn't said anything about the cloning, no one would have been the wiser, and this is such a gorgeous tree that I can see why you took a shot of it, and also why the fence was there. These old babies need all the protection they can get! Congrats on your score and most importantly on this work of art!
"I never looked for it, gave it no name; yet I knew it always, when the gift of peace came. I stood quite still for the moment that it lasted...Then the light shifted slightly and the moment passed, leaving me...with the lasting echo of its presence.." Diana Gabaldon
Anything that excites me for any reason, I will photograph; not searching for unusual subject matter, but making the commonplace unusual.
