Here in north central Florida, the power companies regularly trim trees living near their lines.

Usually done in preparation for hurricane season, here is one of their victims.

To the left is a field harvested for pine trees and pine straw about two years ago. It has not been replanted.

F/16? Must've been super bright out there. Could you post a larger version? I can't see much of anything in a shot this small...

Manic,

See the original post for a larger version.

I stopped the lens down in an attempt to get the best focus possible in the entire depth of field.

I get it but I'd be just be sure to keep an eye out for diffraction at such an f-stop.

And I like the larger version, cool shot. Reminds me of the trees around here that are planted in the tiniest of the plots and are hacked and chopped around the power lines. They look so garish that I've started calling them Frankentrees.
