The 3rd works best for me. Monochrome and leafless trees naturally go together. You might want to play a little with the white balance, the curves and contrast, but that shot's a keeper.
I think #3 is the best one out of these. I feel as though the barn and power line distract me from the subject.
Cool.thanks for the imput i have been wanting to take a pic of this thing as long as i can remember .
What an awesome tree! I think #3 is the strongest of the bunch as well. You might also want to try taking a picture of the tree from a slightly different angle so it doesn't look like the barn is touching it.
I'll take some more pics this weekend and ill post some form a different angle. .I just took these real quick.
