Yaupon

I am pretty sure this is not a Yaupon tree - maybe a wild holly, but

this exotic sounding name seems right for this tree. This dwarfed tree

near the Hatteras Ferry station speaks to me of resilience and

survival in an area frequented by hurricanes, storms and driving salt

water – the beauty of adaptation. Comments and critique appreciated.

Wayne,

  Beautiful scene with amazing colors, details & creative processing.  Take care, Patsy

Wayne,

You chose the right POV to have the resilient tree  marry the shape of the meander in the waterway.Great details revealed when viewed large.Choice image!

Nice processing effect,great colour and composition.

Belongs in the pages of a fairy story where elf's, goblins and witches are the characters 

Great Processing! 

Best Regards

Patsy,

Thanks.  The island has these places with plants taking on all manner of weather shapened forms

Laurent,

Many thanks.  Like you were in my head.  I walked around for quite some time trying to find this vantage point.

Chris,

Many thanks.

Alf,

Thanks.  The tree kind of makes you think all that stuff.  I spent a lot of time communing with this specimen.

perfect saturation! I also like the treatment of the grass.

Maria,

Many thanks.  The place seemed to demand this kind of treatment.
