Leaping Trees

I find this particular sea stack fascinating! How did that tree get out there? Why is the tree at the edge leaning toward it?

It's a pretty cool spot. CC welcome.

I think it could benefit from a tighter crop so the attention is drawn to the tree. It's a pretty interesting shot.

It's likely due to erosion/weathering

but it's a very nice shot, the greyscale suits the mood of the picture. Where'd you take this?

Nice Majeed! I disagree. I like the crop just the way it is. For me, the sea gives the feelings of death and distance.

It looks too dark on my screen.

Maybe "Suicide Hotline Failure" would be a better name! Cool photo. it does look a bit dark, but then...suicide has always been rather depressing...

I think the tones of the print reflect the stormy, overcast sky

Thanks for the suggestion.

I'm sure it is, pretty crazy! This was taken off Cape Arago highway on the Oregon Coast.

I think, after coming around and looking at it again, it's fairly flat. Maybe on the darker end too.

The tree just couldn't take it anymore.
