I like the lake shot but I think you need a more interesting sky (and reflection). The bat is an interesting capture, but the foreground twig and leaf spoil it a bit, and it's a bit central for my taste. The tree is amazing! Nice shot which conveys a real sense of age and permanence.

Looks a bit like the tree in Avatar. Did you see any blue smurf-people?

I'd forgotten about it last night, but from memory those are the same trees that cover the famous overgrown temple at Ta Prohm just outside Angkor Wat in Cambodia.

The tree looks like a strangler fig Don? It's my pick too.

Thanks all, and yes i-berg a strangler fig it is, the famous one being in Yungaburra, I will have to borrow a super wide lens for it.
C&C welcome.
