This is my favorite tree on Mt. Hood (yes, I have a favorite tree in that big world of wilderness). If you are interested, I'll send you picture of it from about 8 years ago when it was a little younger.

Scott, really great image very stark and contrasty in a good way.

Thanks to everyone for the comments. Marylynne, I would love to see your photo of this tree from 8 years ago. You can email it to me or just post it in this thread.

Sweet! Cool graphic!

I'd have done everything I could to avoid that right angled line dying into that tree but lacking a better solution, I'd have composed it just as you have.
