I really like your title -- very fitting to the photograph. You've done well in this one, John. I see the main tree as really fighting it off with the one at the top. When I look hard enough, I can see shapes that seemed to have been caught in its wickedness. Sorry but my imagination is running wild at the moment because of your title.
I get it, I like it! And perfect in B&W. Only thing I would suggest is maybe cloning out the house on the hill in the BG. Great title too.
"By the pricking of my thumbs...
Very cool title & image! I agree the wee house is a distraction.
Nicely seen, captured and processed John - I like it (without the house).
Really nice.
That works really well. Nice monochrome composition. Thanks for sharing.
Late to the party but I also like this image, a lot! (best without the house - much more wicked!) Quite something for me to say for a B&W image. Beautifully photographed and processed.
