Walnut Creek Path

This really does "envelope" you. This flows well..I like how th trees "bend"... good use of B&W...a very "forested" mood. Nicely done, Scott.

Scott, I love this image!

Scott,

This is quite mysterious and unsettling in a way. I think that's a good thing, because this image is very evocative. At first, I wanted to see more of the foreground, but the more I look at it, the more I like the foreshortened view. Well seen, and nicely done.

Very nice 'print', Scott. Nice thick tonality yet with plenty of fine detail in the deepest shadows. The scene is dark and foreboding, but the light back there is so inviting.

Very enticing Scott. I love the soft edges of the path. They create an aura.

Very nice scott, I would like to see this in print.

I like this very much, Scott. It works remarkably well in B&W (one of those things my own color-oriented mind would probably have not even thought to photograph).

Very nice Scott. Just as Michael indicated.

Just an observation. Strangest looking cedar trees I have ever seen.

I immediately thought of Cedar Hill S.P. up here close to Dallas. I can think of a number of spots along the trails that have the same look to them. And the funny thing is, it really is dark when you walk through a grove of cedars so you captured the feeling very well.

Love it! Great contrast through this. The pano view and B&W are perfect. You'd think the mess of branches would be distracting but the gravity of the path pulls you right out into the light... out of the tangled forest.

Thanks everyone for you comments. I knew a fellow texan would appreciate this Thomas. Jim, this stuff is everywhere around this part of the country. It is a type of juniper but known commonly as mountain cedar. It is very aggressive and takes over acreage quickly if unchecked.

Thanks again, there are more to come....

Scott, thanks for clarifying. I know it didn't resemble any cedar from here in the PNW.

Scott,

Really nice shot! Sweeet!

There's been a number of "path" photos here lately, but I think I like this one the best. I like the wandering quality of this path for one thing. Another thing I like about it is all the texture in the bark, and a few bright leaves on the ground. It all comes together for me to tell a story.

Beautiful moody shot. It's funny, but whern I first viewed it I immediately thought TEXAS HILL COUNTRY. This was before I saw you were frpom Austin. I used to live near Concan, Texas and there's nothing to compare with the beautiful Texas hills.

Back to the shot - very nice comp and exposure. Has both an inviting yet foreboding feel to it. You almost expect to see Dorothy and Tota walking along the path.

Scott,
This is wonderful! I bet the print is stunning. I love the dark moodiness with the light at the "end of the tunnel" so to speak. Congrats on the EP!

Really nice composition. Creative perspective. Congratulations.
