Very nice, Bruce. Nice juxtaposition of elements in the frame. Cheers,

That's very very nice. Wonderful feel to it.

The best of the three, IMO. The clover in the foreground contrast nicely with
the fallen tree.

Well Done, Bruce. I'm inspired.

Can almost smell the sweet, mossy, fresh air. Certainly conveys the
quiet reverence I often feel when in the Redwoods.
Well done!

So sometimes, the details work out better. Anyway, this is one of
the trees that fell many years ago.

I hate when that happens! I think we've all experienced a time when we've

Alas, I got up early this morning, took the tripod, Tokina 400, Tamron
90 macro and the DA 16-45 to tackle this image with the suggestions
that have been given. When I got to the site, no branch! Someone had
removed it - I can't figure out why - other than the stupidity of man.
It was off trail a
The POL may be a good idea ... a tighter crop may be at odds with the story
of life, death, and rebirth, and not give the fallen branch enough space.
But it's easy to play around with cropping to see if there's a better
alternative, although, imo, Bruce has that nailed pretty well.

Bruce,
I like the picture but would like to see more sharpness in the tree.
Could you shoot from the side so the tree trunk was in sharp focus?
(I understand about the DOF problems.)
What I like about the picture is the simplicity of the grass and wildflowers.
The tree trunk adds another dimensio
Bruce,
I agree with Shel--it needs a lot more DOF. I would
also suggest a tighter crop, and maybe playing with a
polarizer a bit; I think the reflections off the log
and the grass make them blend more than you want.

Frank,
I do appreciate honest feelings and opinions. This one probably needs
some more work. Based on a few ideas from Shel, I'm going to give it
another shot and see if I can get it where I envision it - of course,
that doesn't mean you will like it any better, but, it is worth the
effort.

Hello Shel,
Thanks for the ideas. I'll take a couple of different lenses for
perspective and see if I can get a little higher on it. Probably take
the tripod too.
Gotta shoot in the fairly early morning as that is when the light for
this is good. Hopefully be able to do it tomorrow. If I can
Hi Bruce ...
This has such great potential. It's another of what I call your "Haiku"
photos. A couple of things keep it from being amongst your best. First,
there's that lack of sharpness in the foreground and the closest part of
the fallen branch. Either the entire pic has to be sharp, or per

Thanks for the idea John. Just did a look at it that way. It works
for the tree part, but loses quite a bit in relation to rejuvenation
of life with the grass and flowers - have to wonder about one of those
partially desaturated images...

As it's dead, what about black (and white)? I think the pretty colours
rather undermine the sombre mood that this invokes in you.
