Hello Rick, It is a pretty cool tree. I agree that there is a shot or three in there. This one doesn't seem to be it for me. I would certainly look at a lower angle, different perspectives, different lighting etc. I have a few of these kind of things where I know the shot is there, but haven't quite found it yet.
I suspect your DOF is so good because your angle is quite wide and the distance of the subject to camera is not particularly close. -- Best regards, Bruce Wednesday, February 7, 2007, 6:31:05 PM, you wrote: RW> This tree has fascinated me since I first saw it a few RW> months ago.
