But it is not.
Its a tree.
This bloodthirsty cruel notion contrasts with the reality of that thing - being just a tree trunk in beautiful light with beautiful colors around.

I like this - because it confronts us (certain people who see it like this) with the fact of our occasional cruel fantasies.

Great shot !

Well done again!

In Camera Raw I made the white balance because it was too magenta.
