Sticks on Stone

This is another composition from the same general area as my last post. The long piece is an exposed root of a small shrub that was growing out of a small break in the rock which is just out of the frame on the bottom. The assortment of small sticks and other material had collected where the root started to extend away from the break in the rock. It took me about fifteen minutes I'd say to set up the tripod for this shot to get the exact framing I wanted. It was on a moderate slope in a bit of an awkward location and I needed the camera to be more or less directly over the scene.
