If you can't tell it's an old olive tree! I was having too much fun experimenting with different textures and lost the shape of the tree although I was quite pleased with the background.
This tree is up in the hills not far from where I live. In the past weeks we've had so many fires in that area and I'm not sure if the trees survived. I will never understand people who deliberately start fires on a bone dry hillside killing wildlife, plants and trees?

Beautiful trunk on your olive tree, Cathy! As for the fires, carelessness ... stupidity ... or both?
I think everything turned out fantastic Cathy!
Great photos too :-)

Really beautiful; you've captured that bark texture so well. I love the thistle and butterfly/moth photos too.
Wonderful texture and stunning background ! I do hope most of these trees will escape the fires !

love the tree, and its bent shape.
It's really lovely. I love the background too. It's so soft and atmospheric.
