Thanks everyone. This is actually in my back pasture by our pond. My 5yo niece actually saw it a few months ago while we were on a little nature walk. I kept meaning to get a good picture of it and since Halloween was approaching...
Ken, I had a similar idea about isolating the root, that's one of the reasons I mad it B&W, that and I thought it would be more spooky. I'm at work right now but if I get home early enough I'll play with the image a bit.
