The (now dead) Tree of Life. Taken on 4x5 at 90/11:
The Tree of Life: A Macro Crop
This barely belongs on a large-format discussion forum. It is a crop of a 4x5 down to the size of 35mm in width. The original shot, uncropped (9MB, very big!). I think the crop is clearly superior, and wish I'd thought to use my 305mm lens when on location.
GIO and Barry,
Thanks for your kind comments!

Nice image, Richard. I like everything about it. At the risk of offending anyone, I might have been tempted to shoot it as you did, then maybe again with the little weed or whatever it is on the left pulled or pushed down behind the tree. I don't think it is a deal breaker left in, though. I really like the way the large mass of the tree is balanced by the striking angular piece of wood in the water.
