The colours and beauty are spot on. I am not one normally for centrally located figures but the use of the lone tree, standing defiant in death makes this image! Good shot.

thanks Steve, I tried the shot with the tree on the left and then on the right, and didn;t like either one, so i try one in the middle and it seemed to work for this image
