Maybe yes, maybe no. Kind of felt this image fit into this gatagory

better than others.

DL, magical rendering with great tonal range & DOF, crisp sharpness, nice light & composition, excellent job!        Best regards

This is as unusual and different as it is powerful and dramatic. The gnarled branches of the tree seem to be tortured and twisted like some rheumatic painful limbs struggling to break free of the repressing canopy of leaves. I really like this, I'd like it better if the view was unencumbered by the foreground trees, but then you have to work with what nature provides and you have done a great job here.

Cheers Dave

HI Dave, interesting dramatic composition, but I prefer the color one which gives more diferences in the details. For my point of view the back ground is too messy and need more structure. Regards

Well done. I've been working on tree portraits myself. (with mixed results.) I like this.
