 Got this shot while out shooting on Saturday. We had some great cloud cover and I was looking for a shot of a tree that would complement the darkness from the sky and thought this worked well with it's immense branches and surrounding tombstones.


Wow, a new PB and a 6.0 finish and top 20. I am pretty happy with this finish. Thanks to all who voted and commented.
Editing included combining 3 exposures with photomatix, a very slight crop, levels, 50% grey overlay at 20% for dodge and burning, convert to B&W, usm, resize and sfw.

I like your subject tree and monochrome is a good choice, but I'm not a fan of the processing you've used.

For some reason this image seems like you processed it for about 4 days.
