Go To The Light

After physical therapy this evening I stopped at one of my favorite spots and went for a brief walk. I walked part way into the woods to see if I could find something of interest to photograph for this week's theme. I found several things, but as I was leaving the wooded area, I noticed the sun was casting its light on the trees and it created a silhouette effect of the trees. So I walked back into the woods and slowly came back out until I saw the photo I wanted. I liked the lighting, and I also liked the feel of it so I decided to shoot it in B/W. Have a wonderful evening.

Nice job Rick. I do like the effect of light shining through a forest.

[Allison Williams]

I love the commentary you give to explain how you came to take the picture you did. The extra effort you put in always shows.

I love this one in black and white with that frame. It gives you kind of a lonely feeling in the woods. Very good!!

[Courtney]

[Mary Tjeerdsma]

Reminds me of my woods. Love the B&W - framing is perfect for this photo. I think this is a calm and peaceful photo - not lonely or eerie. I love it!
