Title: twisted roots and dark paths
Post by: MattNQ on January 30, 2013, 10:05:45 pm

I have been very slack - haven't posted here for a while. 
Here I have been playing with some different mono treatments - trying to capture some dark moodiness of the rainforest.

All three very fine, but #1 really knocks me over.

Thank you Eric.
#1 it took me ages to find the right spot to take the shot from.
I ended up with a few different shots, but this one ended up being the one that grabbed me the most.

#1 is excellent, the best by a substantial margin.

I fully agree, #1 is the best. The tentacular roots, the light and framing are great.

Bravo

I'm with Eric. They're all good, but #1 is a knockout.
