An imposing tree, I love the shapes and curves of the branches and it's silhouette against the sky. The golden grain in the forground is a great touch.

Great capture of this tree, Craiger. Adding the grain was a good decision.

Great shape of the tree - the foreground golden grain is unexpected but works well.

Excellent, like the curved branches, makes it look 'old'!
Well done!

nice shot. i love the twists and turns in the branches of oak trees. this isn't by any chance the same tree we saw a reflection of in that "evil" shot a while back?

@danthro: No, this is a completely different tree. Thanks for the comment danthro!

@dailyphotosofmale: The Valley Oak is a deciduous tree. Meaning it looses it's leaves in the winter. Thank you for your comment dailyphotosofmale!
