An eye catching shot with those swirling clouds well lit by the setting sun. The silhouetted tree is beautiful and the colors are fantastic.

BFF, I have no words for this dedication.

I truly thank you from my heart.

But remember, the tree of life always stands alone... yet it is one of the fullest trees there are. Surrounded by friends and family that need to let you grow your own way. Yet always there for you.

Your image is a symbol of love for God and man. And now take that love and bring it back to yourself. It's what He wants for you.

Beautiful image that I'm so proud of you for.. not only for the image but for your willingness to heal yourself.

always, BFF.

    Wow. There you go Again BFF! This is Exactly what I needed. I never thought of this being the Tree of Life. And I love the idea that it stands alone and needs to grow in it's own way. It reminds me of a question I would ask people when giving a motivational talk: "How tall will a tree grow"? "As tall as it can. Who ever heard of a tree growing half way and then quitting"?

    Thank you again so much BFF. These emotional swings from the stroke are really playing havoc. Good thing I am no longer in the military. Enough about me. You have made a Real Difference for me today. I am very grateful BFF ~ BFF

    Oh, thank you for your words and Grand rating.

    I have been called a healer from psychics... but never believed it. But I believe sometimes we need to reach out and try.... I'm glad this is what you needed... It came from the heart. :)

WOW Steve! This looks amazing, and your poem is excellent as well. The style, the tree, the colors, the poem - all remind me of some of my own work, and for a minute I wondered if I posted this in a moment of senility and forgot about it - haha! I love it!

    Wow. Thank you so much Dave. Coming from you this a great honor. To tell you the truth Dave your images have been an inspiration for me and this is an example of your influence. Your Six is worth a Nine to me.

    Wait a minute: I think you Did post this one Dave. I remember cutting and pasting something of yours. I bet this was it. I only plagiarize the Best! ; )

Wow! The dramatic expressions of many of the colours and shapes in this scene are clearly lighted and defined to evoke mixed emotions felt by the viewer! Very impressive indeed!

    Thank you so much Paul for your cool review and grand rating. Yes I wrote this poem about ten minutes ago.

    Photoshop is really cool. I am just now learning what it can do. Amazing stuff.

    The voices say "Bring it on"!

    Besides, with my funky little iPhone they are normally pretty tolerant and pay me no mind.
