At the base of an almost dead tree, a new life grows.
When I first saw this small tree growing out of a dead tree, I see a new life fluorishes.
In this picture the idea in my head was/is to play with the contrast between the green of the new tree and the brown/red color of the ground that dominates the scene... and to make the shadow and the trunk of the almost dead tree part of the picture. My idea is that the reddish ground, the shadow and the form of the brown (dark) trunk lead the eye to the green small tree.
I took several pictures of this, under different lighting condition in the span of two hours I guess, cause I wanted to get the shadow of the trunk of the tree that I like. The light is really harsh (it's noon when I took the pictures) I also tried it when the cloud was covering the sun, waited for the sun to move further west so I can get different shadow...but this is the one that I like.
I took it using my 30D, 24-70 at f/5.6, ISO 200 at 1/160 and white balance adjusted with WhiBal card.
Critiques and comments are really welcome.
Thanks for looking,
bob
