Description

This was such a great target to capture over a couple evenings with the FRA500.

I was trying to decide whether to crop or not, since I really like the structures on the left, but the weight feels a bit "unbalanced" to the right with the trunk being off-centered. I decided to crop, but will upload a revision with the full ASP-C sensor frame.
