Don't have much to say about this. I seem to have a desire to capture tracks at the moment. Might be something I work on for awhile. Just thought I would share this.

I really like this. I like the fresh leaves on the top juxtaposed against the older, partially covered one and the cracks. And of course, your eye comes back to track. Lots to look at, makes you stop and browse for a bit.

I like the sense of depth. Great detail, and an interesting project.

Great contrast and color. Are softening this with a NIK software plugin? It looks like one I use.

I like it, Brad. With the soft colors, the cracked earth and subtle contrast, the tracks are more of an afterthought than the subject. But they don't hurt! Very nice!

Hey Aaron, the softening is due to a slight Orton effect put on it and the opacity of the screened layer turned down.

Brad: A wonderful find and a superb capture. Well done.>=))>

Well I simply love the warmth of the color and the light in this shot. Excellent details and a nice grouping of contrasting elements. Great work Brad!

This would have made a great image even without the paw print, though the print is nice too. I love the lighting on the leaves. Good eye on this one Brad.
