About the Image(s)
I thought I would submit something a little different as I like to take photos of trees as well as flowers. This was from a trip to the Outer Banks of North Carolina while visiting a town called Duck, and while walking along a boardwalk on the sound side of the island at sunset.
Photo taken using a Nikon D850 with 28-300mm lens at 28mm, 1/125 sec at f/16, -1.67 EV, iso 64, handheld. I ran the photo through Lightroom to crop and then through Photoshop to eliminate part of a pier in the background on the left. I added a small vignette.

Hi Ray: A good story telling nature picture of the harsh environment this tree lives in. The top part of the tree is missing along with a couple of broken off branches with just the stubs left on the trunk of the tree. Good composition with the tree biased to the right side of the frame, then technical quality is spot on.
The heavy vegetation at the bottom of the tree provides a good base for the picture, the trunk reflection provides another point of interest.
Good work on cloning out the pier in the left background, the small waves look very natural with no evidence of cloning.
