Oak Trees on Llano Rd., Santa Rosa, Deardorff 8x10, HP5, Dagor 9 1/2.

In the second image, I like how the dead tree not only frames the living tree, but imitates its shape.

A memento mori for the living tree – and for us.

I agree. Repetitive shapes are often a big part of successful images. Not sure if it was intentional in this case, however. I think I was just trying to avoid a convergence of limbs.

Yes, love that second one mandoman!!

Thanks Corran.

I like this shot a lot, Isaac. Sunlit redwoods can be tough to get nice tones from, but this one is nice and balanced.

Thanks, John! I'll add my voice to the group praising the second Llano Rd. image. Did you use a color filter?

Orange.
