The magnitude of scale is almost impossible to communicate in a picture. I imagine an upward-pointing fisheye sitting at the base of the tree and gathering all the trees around it.
Another idea that comes to mind is similar to the first. But first some background thoughts: The bark closeup says something about information available, and for us software developers, information is everything. Sometimes (often) we get out Visio and do that broad layout before designing the components. Why? Because it all needs a framework. Now back to the first pic: Some sort of panorama might be good, with the detail in the foreground and a lot of related information (more trees) to the side. Again, an ultrawide or fisheye would be necessary. Maybe just 18mm might be enough from the DSLR kit lens? Magnitude is humbling.
