this tree is not an oak. only the wood looks very simular as the european oak when used for furniture.
the dessert oak stays like that for 20 - 30 years and then start to grow like a real tree.
Hope you like it

Luk, this is so unreal. Fantastic coloures and fom strange trees, like in some alien planet. Bravo and thanks for share with us.

Amazing capture in amazing colours! I like your composition, in particular the diagonals creating dynamics here... Well done, Luk!

Very nice texture of the tree leaves (Good clarity). Strange yet powerful mix of colors.

Regards, Petru

amazing contrast between two colors, albeit to red for me but still great eye for a good composition.

Hi Luk,
The complementary colours really draw the attention. I like the diagonals, but I think a clear visual anker where the diagonals start of (two bushes in front - which one?) or meet (line where they would meet is just outside of the frame) would improve the composition.
As is, it is a good shot, well done!
Kind regards,
Gabi
