It's amazing how that tree keeps going. Obviously one tough cookie.

I like the delicate tones in this. There are so many colours to be seen, too. A lovely, subtle image.

Man that tree is barely hanging on. I'm amazed a hard rain has not wiped it off the side of the cliff. Talk about determination.

Cool find Michael.

Michael,

What a great nature story. Yeah, tree's are amazing creatures - can I call them that? And the environment that you found this one in is fascinating in it's own right. The range of colors are amazing. Combine these two elements and you have an excellent image to go along with the amazing and resilient story.

The title could certainly be "Tenacity". Nice find and capture.

Your shot is telling us so much about the past of this tree. It leaves our fantasy enough space to imagine what means surviving in this environment. I just forget thinking about colors and composition, this is the best what I can comment on a picture!
