Not surprising you "adopted" this tree as "your own" (in your mind only, of course)
There are by now three trees in my surroundings that I have declared are "mine" (in my mind) and I go to photograph them at random intervals.
This one would have been adopted by me, too, if it weren't a couple too many miles away and if it hadn't already be adopted (by you ). It is the kind of tree that just ASKS to be photographed, it is so unique and so exceptional. I like how the branches snake themselves through your photo and their shadows do the same!
Awsome shot, the branches really just ask you to shoot them. If you can shoot even wider angle, then try putting the camera on the ground and shooting from down to up, might give even more awsome shot
