A Wonderful Contrast Between Rock and Wood

Charred Tree Against Rock, Chiricahua National Monument (click image to enlarge)

Nikon D810, 1 sec, f/18, 120mm, ISO 200

This tree, growing right next to tan colored rock, appears to be scarred from a recent forest fire. I converted the image to black and white to highlight the contrast between the tree and the rock. The cracks in the rock run parallel to the tree limbs, drawing the eye towards the blackened tree trunk. There is also a bit of a color gradient from the lighter left side to the darker right side of the image.
