Dead tree near Throstle's Nest

Ok, so I had a play with this one in Photoshop. I went on search of 18th century colliery remains yesterday afternoon and whilst stood in a field in Adlington this tree was crying out to be photographed. When I got the thing on screen the image looked dull and uninteresting so it became a candidate for some serious tinkering. It may not be as 'in real life' but I quite like the result as it is close to what I had in mind when I first saw the tree.
