Just so everyone knows. I PM'ed xdaex and asked him to submit another photo for this contest, as I don't feel that "Storm Coming" meets the criteria for having the tree(s) as the main subject. Photos are subjective and can be viewed differently by each person, but for the purpose of this contest, I felt the tree wasn't the primary subject. I hope xdaex, and everyone here, understands my reasoning.

Every time I think of entering one of these, Jup throws up a pic and I feel so inadequate!

You and mwalsh need to go and shoot a B zombie movie.

I don't mean that quality wise, but both of them put me in the mood for something like evil dead.

Kcroberge, maybe it's just me, but I'm not seeing your entry "Twisted Tree" in your post. Anyone else not seeing it, just to confirm?
