Amazing!!! This looks like a painting. The texture of that tree is incredible! This is definitely worth a trip! Posted: 10/11/2025 04:41:16
That is a great specimen shot of the tree, it is framed well by that plash of sunlight of the wall as you call it. I love how the old debris sits around the tree, never to move, sort of frozen in time. This is a cracking shot. You could have given a touch more space. But that is just my taste.

Wow! I thought the background wall/mountain was a sky filter. Incredible scene with great detail and contrasting light and shade. The tree form is very unique and an eye-grabber. I would have cropped off a little from the right to have the tree more centered. Wonderful capture. Posted: 10/17/2025 23:23:26
Stunning image! The rich textures and colors, especially the vibrant orange against the lighter shades of color, make this a fascinating and gorgeous photograph. Posted: 10/18/2025 01:14:01
I need few second to realize the background was wall of the mountain stones. The moment you take this image creating unique picture. Amazing orange color. It's really tell the story the strength of the tree. Posted: 10/22/2025 09:14:19
