What a beautiful picture of a wonderful old tree!
Love the lighting and colour and, for once, even the effect! (I'm a naturalist usually).

Looks like a painting Mark.
What a great old tree - well deserving of its portrait :)

Ahhh...I can just picture myself lying out under the leaves of old stumpy and enjoying the day. Great shot. Well composed. Clean and crisp.

You certainly got some superior shots from this locale and this one is no exception. What a great tree. Loved it, saved it and it looks great on the desktop too!

Great shot. I love trees. Love the trunk on this one and roots look like toes or claws clinging to Mother Earth. Tones in this one are awesome and using the tree as frame was great touch. Hope I get it in VB

I like this Mark...terrific composition and that old Oak tree has such character. You shot this in very bright sun but retained great detail...gerry

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. - Hermes
