local lone tree

[Rybear]

spotted this tree a while back and wondered  if i could separate it .....but me being me i never got around to it ...passed it over 100 times but couldn't be bothered.....then the other morning it was misty..i only had the point and shoot and was on the way to work but i had to take an image :)..it was ok but i needed to go back with my dslr.... sunday afternoon as the storm died down i went back and i m really glad i did ..the tree is only 50 ft from the main road so had to get down low to avoid it in the image but i just loved the moody sky

Well caught, That's a very moody sky in the background.

That’s some heavy cloud there. Looks good in mono.

It's important  to be observant enough to notice the  potential that  this tree had... and great that when he sky became such a dramatic backdrop, you took the time to go back and  capture it...it has turned out really well. Sometimes you can get lucky in photography ... but usually the best  photographs result  from observation , anticipation and execution, all of which are often  the result of  more than just a few minutes  work.. This is a a fine example of this . Well done Ryland .... I might even look out for that tree next time I'm in the area !
