Oak Tree

Oak Tree
I love the shape and the lush green of the leaves. This was taken on some waste ground a short distance from my house. Best viewed large, on black :-)

You might have seen my recent Egret photo ( www.ipernity.com/doc/keithburton/49921066 ), this was the tree it was perching in.

John FitzGerald, Frans Schols, Gudrun, Horizon 36 and 18 other people have particularly liked this photo

The beautiful Oak is so many people's favourite tree and from your beautiful picture it is very understandable why! I love the snake branch with its tongue out....warning you maybe ;-)
An absolutely stunning shot Keith, and must be seen large!

Beautiful. You've really captured the spirit of the tree. Back in the 16th century there were oak woods all round Falkland as this was the hunting ground of the Scottish kings. Cromwell gets the blame for them vanishing. The timber was used for shipbuilding. There are none of the originals surviving but Ninian, the current "laird" of Falkland Estate has planted a small oak wood which is flourishing. I hope that one day there will be trees as beautiful as this one.

Thank you all so much...............I just hope that when the waste land eventually gets built on, they leave the tree alone!

The oak is a beauty! You composed it well with the bizarre shape framed by green leaves.

All of the above, and the fine detail helps the eyes take this in more quickly so that it is even more striking. Good frame, too.

Keith Burton club has replied to John FitzGerald club
Thank you kind sir! The framing came about because I only had a 40-150mm zoom lens with me and because there was a hedge behind me, I couldn't get any further back :-)))
