Old tree in the forest. Black and white photo. Shallow depth of field.

An old tree with thick, textured bark stands in a forest, captured in black and white. The roots are sprawling and prominent, grounding the tree firmly into the earthy forest floor. Branches extend outward, some bare and some with sparse foliage, creating a network of lines. The shallow depth of field focuses on the tree, with the surrounding environment softly blurred, enhancing the tree's prominence and details. The monochrome tones emphasize contrasts and textures, adding a timeless quality.
