this is the kinda shot that i was gonna take but I decided not to. really nice photo, the roots are great. I think the background might be a little bright, but I'll give it a 9. -Konador
This is a good composition and being in black and white helps it I think because of the trunks and roots being in shadow and the foliage behind the tree being bathed in sunlight shows a huge contrast difference that may have been understated if in color. Initially, I couldn't decide if the branch in the upper left added or detracted from the overall photo but I think it does belong there and breaks up the bright whites of the background foliage. Nice job.
this is nice :) I really like the way this image goes from underexposed to overexposed... that is a neat effect in this photo. good work :) - jmsetzler
Something old. Use your photographic technique to emphasize the age of your subject. Composition - quite good Technical Aspects - quite good Meets Challenge - yes Visual Impact / Originality - good
Tree and roots are just a tiny bit dark for my taste - I would have liked to be able to see more of the complexity of the roots, but otherwise, I really like this photo
I like the post processing that makes the trees in background go white. The problem with it though is that it makes the darks very dark without much definition.
