The Fallen by digitalrn

The Fallen

My wife went to Zumba tonight so I went out for a photo walk at one of my fishing holes. The weather was threatening so I didn't trust going too far. I didn't walk far until I came across this fallen tree along the path. I liked how it looked against the background, and even more so in B/W. Shortly after taking a few photos I had to make my way back to the vehicle. Since it was raining I called my Brother and we met for supper. Had a nice chat and now I'm back home, and must catch up on my commenting. Have a wonderful rest of the evening.
Gorgeous composition! Love it in black and white

I love this picture. I think the b&w is perfect. The composition is terrific.
May 17th, 2011  
This is an awsome photo. I see it is black and white,,,but did you do some other effect on it? I love it.

@miata2u Peggy, the only thing I did was adjusted the contrast a bit to darken it, but that's it.
May 17th, 2011  
The title really adds a dimension to the scene I would otherwise have missed. Great drama and perfect in B&W.
May 17th, 2011  
Beautiful pic, love the perspective and b&w.
May 17th, 2011  
Nice, nice, nice perspective! Were you lying down to get the shot? I'm really digging the b/w, too. Oh, and Zumba.... do you like it?? I've been considering. :)
May 17th, 2011  
This is a wonderful picture. The first thing that struck me was the black and white.
May 17th, 2011  
Excellent b&w. Love how the trail continues on beyond the tree.
May 17th, 2011

what kind of fish do you catch??
May 17th, 2011  
Great composition and processing.
May 17th, 2011  
I was struck by how much the shape is "dinosauristic." Probably not a real word, but you know what I mean... Great find and photo.
May 17th, 2011  
Great texture on that bark.
May 17th, 2011  
I love tree photos and the eye you had with angle is wonderful. Black and white and vinegette. Spending time with family is wonderful and I am glad you enjoyed dinner with your brother. Like your wife I enjoy zumba. So much fun. :)
May 17th, 2011  
It took an artist's eye to see this shot. Wonderful in b&w.
May 17th, 2011  
I love how the tree flows drom the lower left corner to the upper-right hand corner, from the lower trunks thickness to the wispy brances, respectively.
May 17th, 2011  
@kdimagery Kd, I didn't go fishing this time, just out for some quick photos.
May 17th, 2011  
@georgiegirl Oh no, no Zumba for me. My wife went to Zumba with her Sister,and they enjoy it.
May 17th, 2011

Poor tree, but it made a gorgeous black and white.
May 17th, 2011  
It almost feels like its trying to get back up.
May 17th, 2011  
Wonderful shot of this fallen log - amazing what you come across if you go for walks. I tried zumba for a few weeks - i liked it but not motivated enough to continue.
May 17th, 2011  
Great lines and processing. Dramatic shot.

Great find! It looks like a creature crawling along!
May 17th, 2011  
This fallen tree made a great subject for you..wonder if some the top portion is leaning against another tree (can't make the trunk of it though on account of the green plants around it) or is the fallen one still alive and what I see are the leaves of it?
May 18th, 2011  
This is really beautiful Rick....almost has a 3D effect! B/W is perfect!
May 18th, 2011  
Nicely composed.

The framing of this shot works beautifully. There is a great cluster here that makes the shot very interesting to my eye.
