It looks charred and forlorn. Excellent mood you have created.

Lovely treatment you've given this! And, I didn't know that Spain had a Sierra Nevada mountain range (like California)! Cool!

Again, lovely tones and good framing. I like the contrast of the stump in the foreground and the tree in the background, which is very well seen.

A few more hundred yards and it looks like this poor little tree may have been spared from the fire. A great composition, there is a haunting beauty in this trees demise.
