Invariably, the only time the entire SDP staff agrees to opt for black and white is when the image involves a dead tree. It always seems appropriate. Although this tree at Urfer Family Park appears to be dead, there's a lot of life on it. It must be crawling with bugs, because a woodpecker is pecking away at it incessantly whenever I visit Henry and Henrietta (the red shouldered hawks) in the evening. If you view this photo closer, you'll see Woody in the upper left hand corner sitting at the top of the limb blending in quite nicely.

Dead trees are cool and creepy! Is that the sun setting or the moon rising in the background?
Spooky! Terrific photo which would work very well as the cover of a Halloween novel!
I think the tree is still beautiful in it's own way. Great b&w.
@Clamco - That's the moon rising.
wow SRQ!! phenom!! what a moment you captured!
Great in b/w and I am very glad that Woody is holding on tight. S/He is not a lightweight bird and I am hoping that the limb will support his/her weight!
