    What's a portfolio without an attempt at the "Lonely Tree"?
    I have a couple of those, and will keep shooting until I get that unicorn frame.

    This was taken handheld while on safari in the Mara Triangle in Kenya.

    I like how the approaching storm seems to be framing the lone tree. I think it may work a little more effectively with about half of the foreground cropped...WDYT?

    Nice dramatic clouds. Like the lone tree as well. Details look good.

    Hi Morkel.
    Love the sky especially and the moody feeling.. My only wish was that patch of sunlight had landed on said tree.. I guess you couldn't hang around that long??
