I Really Don't Like Pictures of Trees

But I don't know, somehow this tree captured my attention today. I don't think it turned out as interesting as I initially thought. What do you think?

This is more of a still life than a tree which is why it has more character.

I hadn't thought of it that way John. Thanks for your input.
I keep thinking I'm just missing something here. Something else should be in the picture. If a get more of the bottom of the tree, I also get a bunch of other 'stuff'.

Hi Brian,

I understand the shot (having taken plenty myself) but they all just look like a dead tree sticking up from the bottom of the frame. Maybe if you got really close and filled the frame with the texture of the bark or used the texture and shape where one dead limb comes off the trunk.

Ah interesting idea. I think I may try that. Thanks Peter.
