You did it again Michael. I like how the light cuts, and the viewer is drawn to gaze right down the center, despite the trees which beckon otherwise.
Must have been one of those "Oh" moments for you when standing there.

Thanks.

But it's actually one of the "second string" images from a very remarkable morning. One of the "good ones" will be online soon.

It might be a second string image but it sure is darn good.

Every now and then you come across a photograph you are compelled to comment about! I feel this is one of'em! It has such a Disney-fairy-tale feel to it! It's brilliant!

I agree. Second string? Can't wait to see the "good ones."

You can send me all your "second string" ones if you want. It'll leave you more room for the "first string" ones.

Now you're beginning to depress me.

If there ever was a definitive argument supporting the use of the M9 for landscape photography, this would be it. Lovely!

Hi Michael,

My first post on one of your photos--wonderful! Mysterious, beautiful, dynamic.

As for the gear, this image is not the product of an M-9 but of an artist. From what I've seen, Michael has produced equally fine shots with his GH1, A900, P65+, or for that matter Canon Powershot, any one of which could have capured that shot. It's about the vision . . . .

The new Home Page photograph, just published, is one of the ones that I prefer from that morning's shoot. I'll have a few more in the days ahead.

Indeed, I also prefer the "new" photo!

Pete Ferling · « **Reply #11 on:** January 14, 2010, 03:27:25 pm »

Wow. I agree, very nice. The lens on that camera is speaking to me.

Nah, the first one was far better.

+1 for the original vertical shot. The trees seemed like writhing, animalistic beings, very dramatic.

The second is "only" beautiful (haha) and is more about the light beams with the forest being relegated to the secondary subject.

What a magic spot, beautifully shared with the rest of us.

Thanks!

They are both great shots - but if pressed.. I would say I prefer the vertical as well.
