Description
The Tree Of LifeFor once, I am going to say much about this shot and just let the song lyrics below speak to the message I am trying to convey with this photograph.
---John
Tanya Tucker-Strong Enough To Bend
There's a tree out in the backyard
That never has been broken by the wind
And the reason its still standing
It was strong enough to bend
For years, we have stayed together
As lovers and as friends
What we have will last forever
If we're strong enough to bend
When you say something that you can't take back
Big wind blows and you hear a little crack
When you say "Hey well I might be wrong"
You can sway with the wind till the storm is gone
Sway with the wind till the storm is gone
Like a tree out in the backyard
That never has been broken by the wind
Our love will last forever
If we're strong enough to bend
When you start thinkin' that you know it all
Big wind blows and a branch will fall
When you say "Hey this job takes two"
We can sway with the wind till the skies turn blue
Sway with the wind till the skies turn blue
Like a tree out in the backyard
That never has been broken by the wind
Our love will last forever if we're strong enough to bend
Our love will last forever if we're strong enough to bend.

The shape of the tree is lovely. I like how the light strikes what little is left of its vegetation. The diagonal storm showers on the right are a good balance.

It reminds me of the tree from "Forrest Gump"; this is what I would imagine it to look like after Jenny's death...

That tree is full of character and has really taken a battering (from the lyrics, it could be representative of the bad things we say too).
Great shot against a good stormy background...

I usually don't like how HDR looks but this one REALLY looks great!!!
And the three looks very much like that one in The Fountain movie. It's the movie that inspired your title?

Brooding skies interrupted by sudden low-angle light is my favorite.
