Reflections Of Eunice

Eunice Lake, Mt. Rainier. Comments always welcome.

Joe

Very nice, Joseph. I particularly like the composition with the dead trees and the colorful foliage at the base of them. Life and death in nature. Well done.

Magnificent composition! I like the contrast between the green trees and the death ones. Cheers.

Thank you William and Noel for the kind words. The contrast between the dead snags and the green foliage was exactly what attracted me to this scene, as well as the contrasting light and shadow.

I also converted this to B&W, and really like the way the absence of color put more emphasis on the tonal values as well as the stark shapes of the dead trees.

I'm going to post that version, let me know what you think if you have a minute. Also, I had a hard time finding good comps that day due to the harsh noonday sun. I felt lucky to come upon this, didn't have enough time to stick around for the "magic hour". Sometimes, you have to create your own magic!

Regards, Joe
