I caught this during a small break (2 Minutes) between downpours yesterday when the sun actually broke through the clouds. This is our neighbor's half-dead tree, which we keep an eye on during every wind storm waiting for it to fall onto our house. I loved how the sun reflected gold onto the tree with the dark clouds retreating in the background. All comments welcome and greatly appreciated!!

Now that is a tall tree ... I can see why you would want to keep an eye on it during a storm. The wind in my area yesterday was vicious. I saw many trees down ... even blocking roadways. The lighting is exceptionally beautiful as well as the rich colors. Fantastic capture Carissa.

I think I would get that thing cut down before it falls down. I had that happen to me a few years ago. Nice shot. I like the angle, and also the light and colors.

Nice angle Carissa. Give us good perspective on the size of the tree. I will mail you my card so when the tree falls we can file a lawsuit. Just kidding. The only thing I can file is my fingernails. Good use of light.

A NOTE TO ALL MY FRIENDS: I WILL BE COMMENTING LESS ON PEOPLE IN MY “FRIENDS” LIST SO AS TO MAKE TIME FOR VIEWING ALL “NEW IMAGES” AND ENCOURAGING OTHER PEOPLE OF WHOM I MAY NOT KNOW OR ARE NEW TO THE SITE. I WILL STILL VIEW EVERY IMAGE OF MY FRIENDS AND STILL COMMENT ON SOME IF I CAN GIVE A GOOD CRITIQUE OR MENTION WHAT I LIKE OR FEEL IS REALLY WORKIN’ WELL IN THE IMAGE. AS FAR AS MY IMAGES IF YOU HAVE A COMMENT ON HOW I CAN IMPROVE AN IMAGE I REALLY WANT TO HEAR ABOUT THAT SO AS TO LEARN AND BETTER MYSELF.
