This gnarled old pine tree used to be visible from the road unitl they rerouted the road around 1990. Now you have to hike to find it.

this is very nice Robert...love the perspective, textures and depth. I would have liked it if the branch on top wasn't cut off on the left.

Good use of DOF and I like the small window to the distant mountains. I agree with Morkel that the branch upto looks truncated and the group of trees along the left edge are clipped. A bit more more on the left may have been in order. But then again that may have introduced other issues - hard to tell not being there.

All in all the image works very well.

Hi Dale,
Agree with Morkel on the branch.....but as Robert mentioned we don't know what else that may have introduced and may have also taken away from the window feel......so you may want to consider a crop off the top (just above the downward pointing dead branch)......this just makes the tree frame even stronger. All in all well handled and composed.

Very interesting perspective of the tree. Judy can't wait to hike there again :)
I like the compo as presented.
