Un-Dead Stumps

I've been working with longer exposures using a Pro Stop ND filter. This

was at a favorite shooting spot. Exposure was 30 seconds.

Thanks for looking. C and C welcome

Love the title! : - )

Interesting to note your chosen aperture of F 5, great for image quality, but makes for more difficult long exposures.

You haven't mentioned the stop factor of the ND filter, but I am presuming it was something like a 10 stop, to get 30 seconds in these seemingly bright conditions?

I like the dynamics of the cloud movement and brightness of the back ground allowing the main "Un-Dead" stump to really steal the scene. ( looks like its taking a bow)

From a compositional viewpoint the only issue I have is one of seperation, to be more precise the two other "Un-Dead" stumps slightly overlap, a step to the left may have prevented this, although it is never as easy as it seems, and the photographer is usually the best person to make that call.

Nice work Richard!

Best Regards
