Tom and Marj,
Oaks branches grow in such unlikely directions that they always fascinate me. And it always frustrates me deciding where to crop the sides. You've chosen well here.
I really like the composition, especially the single-trunk tree in the lower left as it wanders all over the place searching out a bit of sunlight.
Well done.
Charlie
Charlie - we have three types of oaks locally; this is the White Oak; the other two - Coast Life Oak and Blue Oak - do not have the picturesque branching. glad you like the image.
regards, tom
Klaus - thanks. IR from a Nikon D80 that was IR converted by LifePixel, not from Photoshop.
Tim - tree shooting is more exciting during the winter, when most or all of the leaves have dropped and one can see the beautiful branch structure. glad you like.
