A Cottonwood tree framed by another Cottonwood natural frame. This image was taken at the south exit to Belen off I-25 south of ABQ. The "frame" tree is no longer standing. 
Nikon D700, Nikon 80-200 f2.8, f22@1/250 second, onboard fill flash.
All C&C welcome.

Nice, works well as a natural frame. I'd be tempted to look at this in BW, as the cyan in the sky is competing for the brightest, most dominant area in the frame. Loads of potential in this one.

Very clever composed!
A great photograph is absorbed by the eyes and stored in the heart.

Very unique image - interesting shot! I think I might be tempted to crop just below the two little holes in the tree on top as those sky "eyes" pull my eyes away from what the photo is really about.
