Live Oak

[Michael H. Cothran]

Shot this while in Florida recently. This is a Live Oak tree, which can grow to be quite large and impressive, as its limbs are often larger than regular tree trunks. It was mid-morning, so I positioned the sun slightly out from a limb, and chose a small f-stop, in order to produce the sun star.
