Trees and Rocks At Taft Point b and w

The rain and distant snow on the morning of the last day of our class changed the order of things such that the site that took more hiking away from the car had major time restraints. Three of the participants decided they couldn't keep up the hiking pace and went back while the teacher, a 40 yo jock and I (!!!!) were the only ones that went. I was worried about keeping up but managed it and was glad I had since it was a wonderful spot. This particular grouping of trees and rocks really caught my eye and I shot it with lots of different compositions.
Thanks so much for your visits, comments, suggestions, favs

This is a terrific composition, with a contrast of textures from the smooth rock to the bushes/trees/sky. A great reward for committing to the hike.

A solid looking rock and I can see an animal, of course!

Fabulous nature shot...fav

The framing and textures are lovely. And the contrasts, perfect for b&w.

[Rosie Kerr]

Really wonderful mid-tones and details... it has a kind of an "Ansel Adams" feel to it. Good for you, to soldier on upwards, too!

I love the B&W, great textures and the sky looks amazing :)

[Rachel]

A wonderful shaped rock, and I like the intersection of the different coloured clouds behind. Well worth the hike!

[Milanie]

Worth the hike - great b&w - what a super rock - the textures and tones are fascinating - I do see Rosie's point - does have an Ansel Adams feel to it. Well done.
