Chop it and burn it? No, don't do that, this tree can't help it either. It is just standing there... Great shot.

Em relação à foto... onde clico para votar 5* aqui?
A ideia está excelente "abraçar a natureza", e não me lembro de melhor forma de o fazer. O claro das mãos a contrastar com todo o resto escuro na foto está fenomenal. Penso que talvez tirasse os aneis, sendo que é a única componente "artificial" presente na foto. Mas acho maravilhosa.

Parabéns!
