I haven't posted around here for a while and need some motivation to process a growing backlog of images. I've been spending way too much time processing wedding images and other less fun stuff.

I pass this woodlot most days and am always drawn to the graphic pattern of the trunks and understory. This day I was dodging rain drops while out shooting and thought I try to make something work. Love to get some feedback, thanks.

Hi Kurt,

What a nice setup. I like how the crisp lines seem to drop into the soft, new growth. I know trees grow up, but these trees seem to be dropping in ... almost like wooden iclcles ...

Hi Kurt! I think this is a nice scene but I do have one thought. I think this would have been a better composition had you gone down to the trees' level. It reminds me of how most people take pictures of little kids, looking down on them instead of at eye level. Love the greens!

Terrific colors and you composed it well.
