    Unfallen

    It doesn't look long for the world and with the winds that were present this could be this trees last stand.

    These are both fine B&W's Greg, hard to choose a favorite.

    I think I like the other one better, but it's fairly close between them. I think the other has better definition in the sky.

    It has some of those dark circles that digital cameras seem to get. Nice general shot though. It seems as if there is texture to be exploited though. I soft tone map blend might make it pop

    The circles: Look just above the horizon in the bright sky on the left. Dark Circle. My cameras are always doing that and it pisses me right the H off.

    Thanks all. I will work on the spots. I had to remove a couple of water drops. My Cokin got soaked and I didn't have anything to wipe it off with.

    This cries out for HDR to get more detail from sea and sky.

    You may be right Don. I have tried a couple of HDRs, can't seem to get them like I want them.

    I have to agree that tone mapping would make this pop. If it is too harsh blend it with this shot to tone it down.
