I'm zapped. It's as if I lean out to touch, Ican feel the texture of the wood! Dave, this is a masterpiece...

The hdr treatment works very well for wood and forestry, it brings out the tones on the logs, although the sky does look a little bland

@P J W Miller: Thanks Peter, although I like the effect on the sky
@Pradeep: Thanks Pradeep

Ian from A tranquil leafy place, United Kingdom
Love this picture Dave, this is excellently well pitched/judged/executed. I wonder if there's a tiny bit too much burn between the key trees? - not a criticism, just my first thought :-) In its totality, you've produced a brilliant image. Inspiring, too :-)

@Ian: Thanks Ian, I know what you mean about the sky, although I quite like the effect
don from Spokane, United States
What impressed me immediately was the overall unique looking color cast. This processing enhances the look of the logs. A strong picture.

Hi Dave, I personally love the light and the dark together. I think the lighting in this photo complements the dark tones in the sky. Great photo, framed nicely and very interesting. Thank you for sharing.

Paunel from Galati, Romania
I like all. In my opinion, the title can be a focus toward an idea not visible, but in the continuity of the presented reality.

@Paunel: Thanks Paunel, although you've gone a bit too metaphysical for me! :)

Lee from Fort Frances Ontario, Canada
I like what I see here. The only criticism I have is the dark spot in the sky at the top middle of the shot. Otherwise the shot is well composed and exposed. Good workmanship.
