Nice image, Richard. I like everything about it. At the risk of offending anyone, I might have been tempted to shoot it as you did, then maybe again with the little weed or whatever it is on the left pulled or pushed down behind the tree. I don't think it is a deal breaker left in, though. I really like the way the large mass of the tree is balanced by the striking angular piece of wood in the water.

Yeah, I thought about it, but generally I'm not one to mess with mother-nature. Could be bad karma! And I meant to say that this was shot on Ektapan 100, which should give you an idea how old this image is, since Kodak stopped making it over 25 years ago.

If you keep posting images like this, I'm going to have to go back to Colorado someday ... which I thought I would never do.

Gelatin-silver photograph on Arista Edu Ultra FB VC, image area 20.3cmX25.4cm, exposed in contact with a Fomabrom 200 negative. Camera was a Tachihara triple extension 8x10 field view camera with a Fujinon W 300mmf5.6 lens. The trees had grown in each others company for 300 years but now one has died, one still flourishes; grace in life and death.

Nice photograph and well done for finding and communicating such beauty and sadness.

my first shot on 8x10. a gray day on the CA coast south of SF, about two months ago.
Wista 810, Fujinon 250/6.7, Tri-X, XTOL. Turns out a 250 feels wider on 810 than I thought it would; I think this had the maximum rise.
