It seems as if the tree is trying to break free from its roots.

Taken at Bryce National Park.

I like that sense that the tree is running for the edge getting ready to jump off. Nice light here with the contrasting colors and the root shadows. Good eye too for seeing this with everything else there is to photograph at Bryce.

This is a real eye-catcher. The tree seems almost mobile, like it could scuttle along on it's roots. It's a gem and you did a great job of composing this image.

That is one twisted, gnarly tree! It makes for an excellent subject.

This is a really cool photo Allen. I like the really low angle and the way you've emphasized the roots growing out of rock.
