Richland Pine Barrens by hjbenson

Richland Pine Barrens

I live in an area of New Jersey that is called the Pinelands, actually I am within the borders of our country's first National Reserve http://www.state.nj.us/pinelands/reserve/ and in 1988 it was recognized by the United Nations as an International Biosphere Reserve. Best Viewed Large

For my other photo of today http://365project.org/hjbenson/others/2012-04-13
I like the composition

Great processing.

Nice composition. The pines looks a lot like those I grew up with in the South but they are probably a different type.

@kerristephens Thank you Kerri, I feel it gives the idea of our pinebarrens
@kimmistephens Thank you Kimmi, I walked a little bit until I found the tree I wanted to use as a border
@jeancarl Thank you Jean, the lack of rain has caused that
@mstipe Thank you Michelle, the skies have been beautiful the past 10 days, if only it would rain at night :)

@peterdegraaff Thank you Peter, the railroads came in late 19th century bring murl to help the farmers produce crops
@bruni Thank you Bruni, a traditional hdr -1, +0, +1 layered, no other adjustments
@vernabeth Thank you Beth, our pines tend to be smaller very rarely going over 15 ft.

I agree, it looks best large. Almost looks like it could have been lifted from a shot taken on the train ride to the Grand Canyon. It has an almost western forest type of look to it.

Wow! No kidding "best viewed large!" Makes all the difference and it is fabulous! If I hadn't viewed it large I probably would not have fav'd it... :)
