I've taken a lot of photos of this tree.  It's as moody of a tree as you're ever likely to meet.  He seemed to be a bit cold and aloof on Saturday.

I went with a washed-out look here in post-editing.  Some of the vibrancy of the yellow flowers in the foreground is lost, but I like the overall grayness of the shot.

Knowing the context in which it was taken, I know that this photo is missing an end point.  Then again, if I didn't know where it was taken and what is missing would I even care?

Is it missing something?  No?  Let me know.
