Hope

I really can't come up with a good title.
It's so wet in the Cascades that flowers grow out of logs. This one caught my eye on a late afternoon when it was in shadow. I shot it with a daytime setting, thus preserving the blue. This is Falls Creek, Oregon, on the way to the Green Lakes. I used a wide frame this time because in my opinion it adds to the composition. It's my only image without people that fits the subject matter.

8 commentsI took this in landscape mode originally and was going to post it that way. What bothered me though was that the end of the log was present on one side but not the other. So I simplified the elements. I remember looking at this for some time trying to figure out what kind of presentation to make. It was in the middle of the creek so a closeup was out of the question. I decided to use the dark background to set the yellow better and to let the flower dominate with color rather than size.
Love the water flow, tree, and bright flowers.
