The Living & The Dead

Gallery: FloraPosted January 19, 201485 views6 comments

An old growth Aspen grove with the natural order of Mother Nature at work.
I put the dead trees at bottom but wonder if a 180 degree rotate might be better. Not sure what tells the story best.
C&C appreciated

Rick: This works for me as is; I'm not sure the rotation would make a lot of difference. Well seen and a fine story told.>=))>

Rick:

If dead trees go to heaven, then putting them on top is appropriate.

In an case its a nice image with the trees framed against the blue sky

For some reason, this seems to pull me in (feels like up, in fact) more than most "skyward" shots. Nice control of the contrast. This looks right-side-up to me!

Rick--this image also works for me. With this arrangement, it tells the story that in nature death provides the materials for fostering life...................Jim

Interesting and unusual take on trees seen from the bottom. Works well indeed.
