Bristlecone Pine
This Bristlecone Pine was photographed by my better half last Sunday afternoon. She waited for the sun to poke through the clouds and a light beam to hit the outcropping. I like the mood she captured with the bent pine against the dark clouds.

Very nice--great shapes in the trunks and I like the steel-gray sky.

Great idea and I agree with Heather about the tree shape against the sky ~ Now try cropping around the leaned-over tree on the right and see how much stronger it becomes.
