•  Info A tree covered and ultimately killed by kudzu, an invasive vine here in the US which can cover large areas, depriving plants and trees of sunlight. You can see the scope in photos like this one. I was attracted to this subject because the effect here is kind of monstrous, a figure overtaken by vines. all by — Rhododendrites ^talk |  04:41, 28 November 2022 (UTC)

•  Oppose Ordinary pattern of a dead mass, in my view. Wild natural sites may be rare in New York, but in any countryside of the world, these sorts of vines wrapped around trees are very common. Here this heavy gray web is insignificant to me -- Basile Morin (talk) 00:56, 29 November 2022 (UTC)
•  Oppose The linked picture is actually more impressive and shows the problem better. This photo lacks the wow effect although it is very instructive.--Ermell (talk) 11:36, 29 November 2022 (UTC)
  • I felt like the other one deserved a feature, but others did not. — Rhododendrites ^talk |  18:34, 29 November 2022 (UTC)
•  Oppose Per above, sorry Poco a poco (talk) 18:49, 29 November 2022 (UTC)
•  Support Seems it depends on how we look at this photo (as often ;–). I first thought this was one of Cart’s photos – this bizarre dead tree immediately evokes associations of a bad witch, a giant insect or a monster, so it reminds me a lot of Cart’s point that we should not only depict beauty, but also the wicked and strange. The contrast between the gloomy associations of the tree and the glorious cloudy sky further enhances the impact of the image for me. --Aristeas (talk) 09:02, 30 November 2022 (UTC)
•  Support per Aristeas' eloquent comment, plus I think the composition is better than the previous nomination. Cmao20 (talk) 14:29, 30 November 2022 (UTC)

•  Oppose Per Basile Morin. -- Karelj (talk) 16:43, 30 November 2022 (UTC)
•  Oppose Perhaps a VI, due to the way it shows kudzu creeping northward as a result of climate change, and actually as you and I (but perhaps not Basile) know, there are plenty of these open wild areas within New York City (Staten Island Greenbelt, anyone?). But it doesn't stand out enough for me to see it as an FP. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Daniel Case (talk • contribs)
