I spend a fair amount of time walking in the forest and I stop regularly to admire the trees whose appearance seems to change with each step I take... and naturally, I take lots of photos of them. Now there's an old adage that everyone knows which says, "Sometimes you can't see the wood for the trees": when I look at the images I have taken, I often feel that, for the camera, the opposite is true... the camera can't see the trees for the wood. When I took the photo I saw beautiful trees - when I look at the resulting image on my PC, I see an unremarkable expanse of forest. I keep trying though and sometimes I produce an image that makes me feel the same as I felt when I pressed the shutter button... this is one of those images.
I think some things are just too large or to meaningful to really be captured well because you can't add the sentiment. Have you reached the point where the trees are starting to look alive?
I love the way the woods in this picture goes on and on and on. Some organization of forest chaos here because of the break in the trees that lets us see a second row of treetops I think.
