Description: In the image we see a large and dramatic body of water that appears to have a lot of movement and waves crashing, perhaps stormy weather. In the body of water there is a large oak tree in the background that growing out of the water with lots of outstretched branches. Throughout the foreground we can also see many reeds poking up out of the water especially on the right side.
