Steel Creek Color at Night

Here's a short exposure star shot from campsite #1. The tree was illuminated by our campfire. The white balance was tweaked to change the orange glow from the Ft. Smith lights.

It may be odd, but what came to mind when I looked at your beautiful photo . . . is a poem. Not any poem in particular, but something about your photo is simply poetic. I really like it.

My only critique is the light on the trunk is a bit blown out . . . but that became apparent only after studied the image for a while. It does not overly detract from the poetry of your photo.

Here's a perspective you don't see every day. A very imaginative image Aaron. Thanks for sharing.

Very unique idea Aaron. Not sure how you were able to post one this large, but I think I would like it even more if I could see the whole image at once. Nice work Aaron.

Aaron, cool shot, we have some powerful lights down here in Fort Smith!

Very interesting, Aaron - I like how the V of the landscape matches the V of the bottom branches.The stars add a nice touch.

Now That's a glowing tree. Very cool Aaron.
