This was taken in the Redwood Forest in Central California around mid-afternoon. I remember how I was going photograph the forest to convey just the vast size of it all with so little light shining through the trees. The solution was to shoot straight up. To get this point of view, I was pretty much lying flat on the ground, at the lowest possible level I could get my tripod. There is no cropping to this photo. I did make small adjustments to the contrast and color intensity.
