Very fine shot and the tones work wonderfully. Personally, I would crop a bit of the bottom off, bringing more eye to the tree. Still...as is, I do love this one.

I hope you're not mad, but She was brought immediately to mind as I viewed this amazing photo! BJ There's a legend that when Druids die, their souls grow into oaks I met one as a little child, and I'm here to tell you folks There was Magic in that oak tree, every branch, acorn and leaf You could soak the Magic up, just by laying underneath! In the middle of a meadow, full of flowers, birds, and deer She spreads wide her invitation, to stop and dream a while here. Climb up into her branches, as they overhang the stream. Pick a perch and stay a while, drift, and doze and dream Her arms are always open, as she welcomes you inside You can feel the Magic of her soul, in the branches where you hide She shelters all God's creatures, be they feathered, furred, or you Some stop to dream an afternoon, some spend a year or two. She listened to the secret dreams, that I whispered to her there. I might become an astronaut, I think I'll cut my hair. I sobbed in her arms for hours, as friends died in the War. Silently she soothed me, no judgements as I swore. I brought her all my children, introduced them one by one. They learned to love her Magic too, my daughters and my son. I just took my daughter's daughter there, to feel the Magic peace. She climbed and hugged and laughed in wonder, now she's napping underneath. She's another generation, who will play and plan and dream. In the arms of an Olde Oak Mother, in a field beside a stream. I hope she finds the kind of friend I found here as a child, One who keeps her secrets safe, as she dreams here for a while. When I am very old, and my time on Earth is done. I'd like to spend eternity there beneath her massive roots, To nourish her as she stretches daily toward the sun. And shelters future generations, of my family shoots.

You know how much I love this old tree. It always reminds me of the Poem "Trees" by Joyce Kilmer. If you don't know it look it up I think you would love it. I love the golden tones and your title. Beautiful postwork and photograph.

What a magnificent work of art! The emotion and mood are so very strong. I know you are longing for spring and I so wish we could send it to you. We skipped spring today and went straight into summer. It was over 80f here today. Actually very hot. I'd share our extra warmth and sunshine in a heartbeat. :-) Patience, spring will come.
