Into the Woods

On the way home from our spring break road trip to the Oregon Coast, I persuaded my family to stop at a tree farm that we always see from the highway. I could have spent hours there, but alas with a day's drive ahead that wasn't possible on this trip. I was able to get a few shots I liked. My son helped me out here when I wanted a human element in my composition.

Again, best on black if you have the time.
This is beautiful! Love the lighting and it looks fab in b&w! your comp is really strong and having your son in the shot really makes it. fav!
