I have been taking pictures of this branch and the Spanish Moss that covers it on and off for a couple of years but have been unable to get it right. It is part of a huge old oak that sits next to a lake not far from my house. It wasn't until I combined it with some textured paper that I felt I got it right finally. I used a digital SLR to take the picture. I scanned a piece of textured paper and combined them in PhotoShop I finally felt I captured the texture and beauty of this one branch of a huge old oak.
