Location, Neskowin Beach, Oregon features an ancient forest located at the tide line, perhaps 300 old stumps which are revealed at low tide. Converted to B/W, and forced contrast/brightness to its limit to take away all texture except the contemplative zen-like outline of the ghost forest. Thanks for the comments. This was not entered to score well, simply to express another look at photography, perhaps looking at the inner "dimmed light, a meek namelessness, a hidden wholeness" of the image before our eyes.

I'm going through the entries, stopping at those images I feel have had the benefit of an unconventional eye and dwelling a little longer to try to see and appreciate what you saw. This is one of those images.
Positives: Almost graphic art over photo - I like the purity in this image. Is it a 2 bit conversion? I remember see a treelike image at resembled a cardiac trace, this is a little remiscant of that shot. There is plenty of mystery here, particularly in terms of scale - how big are those objects?
