Location
I took this photo in Kent Falls, ConnecticutTime
This photo was taken at about 2pm,on a cloudy dayLighting
What inspired me to take this picture, was the dramatic lighting on the tree. It was almost silhouetted. I do enjoy photos that use strong light .Equipment
This photo was actually a hand-held photo of the tree. The light is increased (darkened) in photoshop, and the lightning was added with Alien Skin Eye Candy 7Inspiration
The shape of the tree, and the lighting, made it almost a silhouetteEditing

The late afternoon provides better, dramatic lighting. And don't be afraid to experiment in photoshop
