Now, if I'd said "mono tree", would ya have had a look!
Another from yesterday; single-shotter with 50mm at f8 and polariser set to Volume 11, then burnt to a crisp for that fluffy Armageddon-look.

Gloomy indeed. I love gloomyness.
Real nice, Selective coloring would also work here!

Cool! Great image Zig. Tones = excellent!
(Sorry: for some reason this seems less sharp than just before I uploaded it...hmmm)
Aaaiieee! It's a shrine to the
Flying Spaghetti Monster! 
I think this is a spectacular piccie, Zig. Love the high contrast and atmospheric shot. Did you burn the sky around the tree? I think it works really well...
Maybe a little too much touching up in the corners. Good tree though.
I have to agree Don; it looks more overprocessed and amateurish each time I look at it!
Yep, consign to the Round File Zig.

Would you prefer gratuitous licentiousness.:/

Diplomatic? Lol... I don't have to be diplomatic when praising good photos... This one's really good!
