Abstract An Abstract of a Bare Oak Tree In Dissipating Storm At Sunset

**angkymac** · **3 Likes**

Sort of a melancholy evening as the heavy dark clouds obscured any light above them.
Oaks sent their massively gnarled stems and limbs up into the gloomy sky in protest against the oppressive clouds.
(Oppressive, blackly dark, oak limbs protesting an oppressive, darkly purple-gray cloud cover???)

Yet it seemed to make a small impression on the sky as some of it opened up just to show that the sun had already disappeared.
At least I had that bit of success! Got the colors of the sun and the colors of the moody sky, along with the grimly harsh bristles of the the oak twigs threatening the sky!

But, hey! that new lens did a pretty fine job--after a rain storm a couple of weeks ago had taken out my previous "WR" lens (28-105).

I like the way you framed the picture and it is very sharp.

Good composition, great colors and excellent details. Your narrative provides a great description of the circumstances in the making of the image. Love that gnarly oak tree.

Thank you!
Glad to know what you said about the framing; I struggled with that a little bit.

Those gnarly oaks are amazing with their great, massive, long branches and huge clusters of twigs--and yet no leaves.
They sure do attract my attention; I have gobs of shots of them.
Thanks for your note on it.

Angky.
