:wavey: Here's an intimate image from the now long past, but not forgotten summer. For me, this photograph is a reminder that life and renewal will come again to our cold, gray world. Enjoy!

Good detail in the wood, Joel. I like the way the green highlights the triangle in the middle. I think I would like it more if the leaves in the UR were not pinned by the log. Having them above the log might give the image more depth.

Thanks guys. Chuck, the thought crossed my mind, but I decided to leave nature as I found it in this case. My experience is that when leaves grow under objects (such as the driftwood here), their shapes conform to what they grow around...so, they generally don't seem to look to hot when moved. Anyhow, just my $0.02. :biggrin:
