Standing Tall

Looking across the Ranch on a cold Winter Day this tree appears to be the one in charge of things! (Although this scene does not have all of the typical elements for a traditional HDR I did process this single image with Photmatix )The fenceline reminded me of BP Member Bill Raco's wonderful work.

  Nice lines -- the black and white suits the simple composition (or vice versa) Nice use of both the fence line and the tree, Jeff.

Strange, yesterday during another winter storm here I tried to find a lone tree and couldn't find one, maybe today! You really did a wonderful job shooting this one!
