 In the year 2000, America the Beautiful foundation selected one landmark tree in each state. This 250 year old oak was the one chosen for the state of Illnois.

I almost did not submit this as I was not thrilled with the shot. The more I look at it, the more I like it. Which is a recipe for disapointment - My heart has really grown to like this shot but my head says it will be lucky to score a low 5.

I like the yellow flowers in the field.

Nice perspective, perhaps a little more visual oomph is needed to be a DPC killer shot.
