Hi Tom,

Gorgeous big old oak and the back lighting suits this shot quite well. Good luck this week.

Thanks for the nice comments Pete and Steve. I appreciate it. We have some pretty amazing old live oaks here in Texas. They get pretty huge.

I've heard that every thing's bigger in Texas Tom.

This oak seems to back that up. Fills the frame well - good shooting.

Thanks, Bill. I apprecaite the nice comment. That trunk is about five feet across, just to give you a small sense of scale. Its not exactly a baobab but it's as close as we come in Texas. I had to use every inch of coverage that my 12mm Tokina would give me just to get what I got.

I'm flattered that you liked it.

Tom

A very appealing image, Tom. The colors, and symmetry are great.
