Man-made objects? Art of Nature. Magic Gate. Ph. by #WhiteANGEL

A natural arch & doorway spontaneously formed by Nature. The wind has pushed down this tree during a storm and the tree bent, adapting itself & to the scenery, keeping growing and blooming fruits (plums) in this new shape.
I consider it one of my priviledged doorways to the Wild and I feel fortunate this lil magic fact has occured close to my garden.
I am going to ask the owner of the ground to sell me this plant and leave it as it is. He wants to make taleas on it but I wouldn't want he lifts it up. So, I will propose him to leave it as it is, make his eventual taleas to obtain better fruits but will not touch its shape. I hope he accepts. This tree will stay in his field but I will carry on feeling it's mine! Observing it and photographing it in the different seasons and weather conditions.

This is my first shot, later on I took many better ones, even with nice sunset backgrounds and succeeding to photograph it from different angles, obtaining the houses in the background won't be seen.

As per the "man-made objects" factor, for my friends and valued guests joining my brand new Gallery Group entitled "Natural PURE Nature", I want them here to my point on this theme:
if the man-made objects (like the houses here) are not emphasized and hardly visible in the compo, I would accept their posting, provided the photo is not manipulated and very beautiful. Puristically speaking in fact, I don't appreciate the encouragement by many groups about Nature to manually conceal in post-production the man-made objects visible. To me, if they were there they need to stay, not be erased. Reality is reality. Purity means honesty and I don't see why in Nature Photography groups it's highly encouraged heavy manipulation and at the same time it's requested to not post their photos unless they conceal the eventual man-made objects. One OR the other! Both concepts conflict one another to me!
So, coming back to my new and already much beloved group of puristic photography: I posted this pic of mine to explain my point but I also think that, having succeeded to shoot this natural sculpture avoiding the houses be seen, I will leave in the group stream this photo for a limited time just as an example of what I might like and accept even with man-made objects.

I will later on in the year post some more photos of this subject shot from different angles that succesfully enabled me to genuinely avoid the houses.

Attention my dear moderators: please, leave this photo for a week, then, if you feel like better to avoid any man-made objects even if hardly seen in the composition, PLEASE, remove it! In my new group I don't want to overpower my administration, even if the group is mine, my creation and my conceived top top Group! Thank you very much for your understanding and highly appreciated co-operation.
