This is one from last weekend's Kubota Gardens outing with Inge & Sean. I always think of Rick Lamb's image of this tree, hence the name of the post.

Nicely done Sean!! I like the B&W treatment quite well!! And I especially like the different perspective on this tree. Well done my friend!!

I like this also. you did a good job with the composition. If I had a small nit, it would be the lightness of the tones on the ferns and the tree in the upper left hand corner. It looks washed out compaired to the rest of the tree. Actually I'm curious as to why.

Oh Erik, you are good. The ULH corner is where the light was coming from through slight mist/fog, so I tried my best when composing, and when cropping, to reduce it's affect on the image. I plan to do some more PP to try and reduce it further, but didn't have time before wanting to simply get it posted.
I'm still partial to Rick's version. But, just the fact that I got out to shoot makes me
