Optimism
After way too long since getting out to photography I finally went last Saturday. The sky was pure blue, the colors were good and I took advantage of it. However this is my favorite. Shot downstream of Steele Creek after sundown. I like the little Sycamore's enthuasism. As alway's C&C appreciated.

Thanks,
Bruce

These little sycamore's are tough and come up just about anywhere, nice spotting this comp. It might be just me, but it seems that the sycamore is a bit to centered? A crop on the bottom and right side might change the look? It would be interesting to visit and photograph over several years just to see what happens. Nice find Bruce and thanks for sharing!

I'm envisioning this in 40 years from now. Many of these stones will probably be entertwined with the root system at the base of an impressive sycamore!

I agree with David, although I think you might want to re-shoot it instead of cropping it. Thanks for sharing!
