Fallen by danette

Fallen

On the way to show property, we passed this natural area (fenced to keep us out, of course). This dead tree in the late afternoon sun caught my eye.
It is very striking - nicely spotted and captured!

Gosh, Danette, this is pretty ugly! Just kidding! I wonder what those orange vines are. They are taking over Johnathon Dickison Park after it burned. Pretty, but it doesn't seem natural. Glad you got out today!

@soboy5 Thanks, Danny!

@billsouth Ha, Bill! I agree it isn't all that "pretty". It was a fairly obscure area with lots of sand, palmettos and the occassional dead tree. The closest I could get was about 30' so I have no idea what the orange vine was. I thought maybe it was dead. Would be interesting to know. I haven't been to Jonathan Dickinson State Park in a number of years.

It looks like it got choked out by some type of vine. I wonder with it being bleached white, what it would look like b/w?

@mittens Circle of life. The bird was enjoying his perch.

@chard Thanks, Richard. Not sure the reason for a fence on public property.

@skipt07 I tried b&w, Skip. Even tried a half dozen b&w presets. Didn't like any of them. Completely blended it all together. Maybe on a day I feel better.

I can picture you with your client sitting next to you, pressing the breaks, and saying: "sorry, but I must capture a shot of this dead tree".

Good find, Danette. Great shot. Fences should be banned, especially for photographers.

@bkbinthecity Thanks so much!

@anazad511 Ana, I do have my priorities in order! :-) Actually I was on my way to meet my client, so she wasn't with me, but she is a client of many years and she knows I am a photographer, so she would definitely understand!

@henrir Absolutely!
