A lovely contrasty monochrome composition with fabulous real life detail on the foreground trees. The atmosphere of this wood is beautifully captured making one want to wander through the trees, touching their bark. You have given them such a presence, quite remarkable. I love the game of vertical lines, the way the light fades off forbiddingly to the right and the texture of the ground from which the trees have grown. Great effort and such a poetical picture. I think i would have liked a little more of the ground up front, particularly around the first tree - though having said that the tight crop is very effective. :-)

I am Roberto Schirdewahn from Germany. I shot this Photo some years ago with a 80-200mm/2.8 ( i use the 200mm) on Fuji Velvia. The weatherside of the trees where light blue. The Velvia shift the light blue to a strong saturated blue. In A age of Velvia it looks good, some kind of surreal. But in the age of photohsop it looks like to much of it. So i decide to change to black and white . This is a total plus for the atmosphere of this magic place. The forest ist called Ghostforrest and is located at the coast oft Eastgermany. Its a cliff on the Baltic Sea.
