Beautiful, with a perfect tonal range. Did you use a 6x12 back on the camera or is the negative cropped?

Simon that is a very complex image and yet it works wonderfully...the layering of light and shadow, the lighter and slightly unfocussed (non distracting but with a complimentary presence) background - sharper in its lower reflection but still complimentary, and that very crucial bit of sunlight illuminating the part of the slanted tree in the middle foreground...with its very compelling texture of bark and what appears to be shelf fungi - this is a great image!
Man, there is a tree right down the road from where I live that I would love to take a 8x10 shot of, but I would have to enter a pasture.
The old "Southern Hospitality" myth is instantly dispelled here in Virginia the second you ask to enter someone's property to take a photograph. The reaction is usually swift and nasty.
I think I'll start a photo series on "No Trespassing" signs in this state. I could spend the rest of my life shooting them and never run out of subject matter...
