Craiger, it's magnificent, there's a standstill feel that's very powerful

Magnificent indeed, and classic. A good framer, and the truck adds a nice perspective...

I look at this image and there's no denying the might of the oak tree. It just commands your attention.

I agree with Lorraine.. it's the standstill feel that's very powerful.

A forest in a single tree. Oak trees have a beautiful strength. I like the vehicles in the shot. Technology dwarfed by nature.

This is great craiger and that is because of a nice composition. Two stones (rocks?) in foregroung +the magical shadow of the tree make this photo a superb take. Very well done.

Very nicely composed; and the surprising drop in of that truck on the road, right top, just adds something.

Nice shot - the tree's shadow seems to be reaching for me.

I really am impressed with the capture of the light around the oak. Its a magestic stance by the side of the road creates a great monument to nature.
