Description

This is the pear tree from the lightning strike collage. When I took this I thought this looked really interesting with the light and the lines and blah blah blah. However, this looks pretty pedestrian to me as post it. So what ever pearls of wisdom anyone can add to help out a fella who is struggling, I'd appreciate it. nikon n80--little warm filter 81 and matte in photoshop CS commnents are welcome thanks for your time my gallery is choc-full of pictures from my china trip for those who are interested. pages 2,3 and maybe 4

Its like looking at an autopsy... This "body" has been opened and inside you find the grain of the tree. It is moist with the sap that gave it life - that still keeps the wood soft and as pliable as possible, even as it is exposed to the air like this. And see? The wood does have a soft feel to it - you can see by the texture of the long grain. How long does a tree continue to live after it has been cut in half? How long before it loses its moisture, its softness... and does it still feel anything as it lays explosed to the elements while waiting to dry up and return to the earth? Basically, I'm saying, this shot is what you make of it. It is either a boring shot of the inside of a tree or it is a whole story about life, death and the joy and tragedies in between.

I think it's just great the way it is! The light and shadows are wonderful, and I agree with PJ - you can see the softness of the wood here. It might have been more interesting if the grain was running at an angle to the frame, but that's just personal preference. It's plenty interesting already!
