fall in kentucky Kentucky Fall-11

It was a very overcast day when I framed this image along a steep

wooded ridge that drops to the edge of Long Creek. The lighting

conditions required a long exposure. The tree to the right is a

massive beech tree, and the root base is probably close to six feet

in diameter while the trunk is so large a person can barely reach

half way around the sides...I wish I have some kind of reference

indicator to show just how large it is, it must be several hundred

years old...I realize the exposure may not be perfect, but the

overall effect of the image almost makes it look like a painting

instead of a photograph...Anyway...Comments are always welcome.

A liitle too much sky is creeping in and washing out the upper right corner. Crop the top ten to fifteen percent of this photo and you have a really nice forest shot
