Fallen
« on: March 11, 2016, 08:37:49 am »

I witnessed a silent moment as I traveled the Queen's Trail in Bryce Canyon. A recent snow blanketed the land and the wind was still. Wispy clouds slowly danced across the sky and in front of me a branch of a tree, long ago separated from its body. What struck me was though the branch was still a part of a larger whole, still a part of nature, a part of the land although it was...fallen.

Love it! It's exactly the type of scene I would have been drawn to if I had been there.

I love it too… The tree looks like a beached sailboat.

Beautiful. Is there any more to the right? The branch ends just a little closer to the edge than I'd hope.

The halo around the tree is a bit distracting -- looks like the sky was cut and pasted from a different photograph.  Maybe just an imperfect selection during Photoshop enhancement?

Thanks for the comments. The sky is the sky. I do 95% of my work in Lightroom to be honest and Niks Software. If you put a gun to my head and said "Use Photoshop to cut this sky out of this picture and paste it into another!" I'm a dead man. When I go into Photoshop normally I want to remove something out of a picture that LR is making a hash of.
