This was taken near Quinault Washington and converted to b/w in PS.

Does it work for you? Any suggestions?

Thanks :).

Hey Jim:

Yeah, I have a suggestion: send me the slide so I can add it to my collection!

Seriously though, this is awesome and very spooky. You can bet that I would not set up camp anywhere near this tree. The b&w conversion really works well here.

This is great Jim.Its amazing that the overlapping elements dont blend together and get lost..i also like the way the overhanging branches frame the ghost tree.

Jim,

I think that the single strongest dynamic for me which really completes this image is the placement of the bright spot behind the ghost. It adds depth and separates, gives focus, and overall controls the piece. Great work.

Nice one Jim! I like the way the mossy limbs extend around the "ghost tree". Well seen and congrats on the editors pick!
